QTR-Quadtone RIP

Thanks, Tom.

So, let's say I have some saved grayscale tiffs in a gamma 2.2 
space.  I can open those images in Qimage, arrange them as I like, 
set up Qimage to print to file using the QTR-RGB Matte profile, and 
that will give me an accurate print from QTR?

Or, would it be better to convert to some other space before bringing 
into Qiamge?

Since Qimage supposedly only works in RGB mode, I as assuning Qimage 
is doing some sort of invisible conversion the RGB, though I do 
recall the program showed the embedded gamma 2.2 profile in the 
queue.  So, maybe it leaves the image along until it is either 
printed to file or to my inkjet.

Any thoughts on getting the most out of Qimage would be appreciated.  

Do most people find that using Qimage for resampling and sharpening 
gives better results in QTR than just printing a straight PS image in 
QTR?

Regards,

Lou Dina
