QTR-Quadtone RIP

Am embarrassed to say that I can hardly spell QTR;  I just own the group  :)

I started out to use it, the group seemed like a good idea, ran a few few tests, doodled 
with a curve and got distracted and never came back to it.  So I can't comment on whether 
or not QTR slightly grows images.  The Epson driver will though, depending on which 
mode (borderless something or other) you select.

however, on image size I can take a wild guess.  For quick and dirty tests I will often just 
create a default letter size image in Photoshop and play with it.  When I go to test print it, I 
am telling PS to put a letter size image on a letter size paper, and it will not fit within the 
printable area even if it is (were) blank---like all white as the default background would be 
from the file creation and maybe a one pixel dot in the center?  won't fit.

So if you happen to be trying to print a letter sized page/file with info well within the 
boundries of the page, next time just make the page/file/canvas/image the size that you 
actually need.
