QTR-Quadtone RIP

koloshor,

I am sure this has been covered before, but I recently bought Qimage 
and don't know how to use it with a program like QTR or IJC/OPM.  
From what I can tell, Qimage only seems to handle RGB data.

If I have 4 or 5 grayscale images (gamma 2.2, QTR Lab, or whatever 
embedded profile) that I want to gang and print together on a single 
sheet of paper from QTR, how would I do that?  Or, do I need to 
convert them to RGB first?  

Do you place them in Qimage, then print to file, and bring the final 
file into QTR?

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Regards, Lou Dina
