QTR-Quadtone RIP

Thanks, Tom!

I had just about figured that out when your reply came through... 
Since I don't have a densitometer, I guess the profiling issue will
have to wait. I suppose I could try to wing it using a scanner and the
photoshop color sampler tool, but I suspect the small differences at
either end of the scale would result in big frustrations.

The workflow possibilities with this RIP are better than I had
originally hoped... I just have to get my curves right (and fix the
leaky print cartridge that is currently plaguing me), and I will be
able to get back to the black & white prints that I loved so much when
I once had my own darkroom.

Being able to put Qimage into the workflow is a real plus.  I can do
virtually all the image manipulation within photoshop, then save it as
a TIFF, without losing pixels or getting involved with photoshop
resizing issues.  With Qimage, I can non-destructively crop, set a
mild final sharpening, use a pretty good resizing algorithm, and then
print the image to a file.  And it looks like I can set up QTRGUI to
monitor the folder where the file goes from Qimage, and automatically
print it.  

Yes, I am pretty happy with QTRip thus far!

I'm sure I will have lots more questions as I progress along the
learning curve, but right now I'm just happy to be able to make really
decent black and white prints.
