QTR-Quadtone RIP

HELLO ROY,

Thank you for the information. Although there are no profiles for the
PK printer, I would like to try nevertheless. Perhaps someone in the
group has some profiles they might like to part with, for a price of
course. My next question is this: in the Epson Printer Setup Utility I
had to make sure that the only printer online was the one for which I
was installing/creating a new printer(driver). I assume this would be
the case with QTR as well. In other words, if I'm creating a QTR 
printer for the MK machine, ONLY that printer should be online while
doing so. That way, the Quad MK printer driver would ONLY access the
MK Printer. And of course the same scenario would apply to the Pk
Printer. If this is incorrect, please inform me of the proper
procedure to follow.

Thanks again Roy,
Gary
