QTR-Quadtone RIP

THX Mike..

WOW!...I guess that's the "reason" my 1280 "black" cart seems to last
forever!..(I'm doing very little "matte" paper lately..)..So as I'm also
using the "Premium Lustre" profiles for KIRKLAND as well as Epson Premium
Lustre and Premium Semigloss as well as for Silver Rag and Fibre Gloss, it
appears that I probably am using NO BLACK at all!........What a
revelation!!!!
