QTR-Quadtone RIP

Andy,

just want to inform you that I just printed a digital negative on OHP 
with the 3800. 
I used the settings: ABW,media: Premier Glossy Photo Paper and 2800 
dpi

I measured a dmax of 2.42 and followed the procedure written down in 
the book of Ron Reeder to make a correction curve for OHP. Only small 
corrections where necessary Next step will be a print on Kentmere 
document paper to make a print for bromoil.
