QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hi Duane,

Yes, it does. You just described my workflow and how I understand it. 
Thanks for confirming. Unlike you, I DID found the need to convert to 
gray-lab. Without it, I my monitor-print match was not as good. But 
we do seem aligned on the theory of it.

I know. I read that section over and over again. And I tried it when 
I started off with QTR. But 1) I conceptually don't understand it, 2) 
it gave me worse results, 3) when asking Roy's advice in this, he 
suggested me "to do whatever gives the best results". 

And that's probably the best advice to you as well. There seems to be 
no "best" workflow. By now I've seen many different ones. One way or 
another you now seem to have found a workflow that works for you. 
Perhaps just stick to it and have fun with printing.
