QTR-Quadtone RIP

Thanks, Roy.

This worked perfectly. I was surprised that the spot where I had to
poke the hole was covered by both a thin plastic film and by a piece
of absorbant material. Are both of these supposed to come off with the
pulltab? It doesn't matter I guess, because I poked the hole, got a
good nozzle check pattern, and most immportantly - a good print. Thanks.

Bob
