QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hi Roy,

Thanks for checking in.  I'm using 2-1.1d, and custom sizes are requested in 
metric.   Does the upgrade ask for sizes in inches?  That would sure make it 
easier for me.

I didn't want to switch versions because I'm getting neutral prints with fairly 
good density with version 2-1.1d.   I've managed to get the black and white 
print done by using 13x44 default size and shifting the image to fit the 13x36 
paper.  

I'll upgrade once I've figured out how to get a 36" colour print using the Epson 
driver.  It doesn't even give me the 13x44 option, and it too doesn't print 
properly with a custom size over 19".

I'm wondering if anyone out there knows how to do this?  

Thanks,

peter
