QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hi Bernie,

Take a look at this post from Paul yesterday on the DBWTP group:

"Depending on what tones you prefer, you can set up the yellow 
position with the default sepia (slider printing range is slightly 
warm), a second light carbon UT2-LM (prints neutral on Enhanced Matte 
with sliders at 0), or put in gloss optimizer for bronze-less glossy 
printing on Kirkland glossy paper.

See my Readme at http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/UT2-Readme.htm .

Have fun.

Two points there for you -- one is to consider changing out the 
yellow for more neutral printing if your not doing Sepia prints, the 
second is the "favored paper" these days for minimal bronzing seems 
to be the Kirkland Glossy -- and with GLOP in the yellow position and 
Paul's curves, word is that the bronzing is all but non-existent. 
Some say it's completely gone.

But then, you don't have Sepia capability, are on glossy paper 
(rather than semi-glossy/pearl), size is limited to 8X10 unless the 
groundswell gets big enough to convince Costco to import a larger 
size, and lastly, you MAY have to use GLOP in the yellow position 
(some say no, Paul recommends it).

Hope this helps. Should get you a more neutral print if nothing else 
by changing out the yellow position -- but then, Paul's reference and 
Web page will explain it much better than I can ;>)

All the best,
Richard
