QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hello Newbie,
I believe that the different reslult you are getting indicates the 
RIP and associated paper profiles you are using. I.E. QTR and the 
paper profiles you used is producing a different result form the 
printing software used for your prints from 2400 etc.
The way to obtain consistency (at least when using Photoshop for 
image editing) is to utilize the Softproofing function. 
Unfortunately the QTR download doesnot provide profiles that 
Photoshop can utilize to softproff !! - a real deficiency of QTR. 
However Roy Harrington has devised a method of producing " .icc" 
version of profiles that Photoshop can use. The catch is you need to 
have an expensive piece of equipment called Eye-one photo from 
Gretag Macbeth. With this you make your own QTR profiles and then 
produce ".icc" profiles for softproffing.

At least this is how I understand it works. I would love to hear 
from others more experienced about this
