QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hi Bruce,

I saw your post on the QuadtoneRIP re linearization and a tutorial.

I have been using the Piezo Quadtone inks for a while and at some  
point in the near future will be changing over the the K6 ink set for  
my Epson 7500.

I have taken a look at the linearization process using an EyeOne  
spectro photometer and am frustrated also.

Now to the good news -- once I can get this process figured out, I  
intend to crate a video tutorial on the process. I have a series of  
about 10 sets of Photoshop-related video tutorial CD's that I use in  
my workshops and believe that the use of the Piezography process will  
be a relevant addition to the next addition to my Black & White  
tutorial CD. The CD's are described on the chbphoto.com website under  
the education button.

Also, I was very impressed with the way you present your work on your  
web site. Are you using a commercial shopping cart or is this  
something you came up with yourself?

I've been looking for a good cart for the fhotografhy.com site.

I really would appreciate hearing from you on the above.

Good luck,

Chuck
