Re: [QuadtoneRIP] New Windows versions of QTR and Print Tool

2019-10-14 by Greg Brophy

If you are using it just as a print server, why not just buy a cheap used mac for $500. I have a G3 and G5 I use for my drum scanners and printer for that reason as well.

I recently threw in the towel on trying to fit my PC into the workflow when it comes to QTR, Digital Negatives, Digital Positives, Piezography and purchased a MacBook Pro. Paid a kings ransom for it, but the QTR print tool for Mac makes working in this world much easier. I will continue to manipulate my files on my PC but will use the MacBook for output.

Just wondering if anyone here is a programmer and if they would be interested in coming up with a new QTR system including a port of Print Tools for Windows in conjunction with Roy. I love Print Tools and QTR as they exist in the Mac World and it is the only reason other than Richard Boutwell wonderful  software which keeps me from Windows 10. I know it is heresy but that's where I am. Tired of Apple making it harder and harder to use even the 2012 Pro and pushing their Unbelievably expensive hardware. I think they are really more interested in Phones and Tablets. I might have seriously irritated Roy with my requests for Windows Ports. You might have a better chance if you have programming abilities to offer. Just a thought.
