QTR-Quadtone RIP

Thanks, Stephen. That sounds quite plausible and would certainly 
explain the apparent unpredictability. I will take your advice and 
minimize it while printing.

It is fantastic software, and I am so dependent on it now that I get 
very anxious when the least little thing seems to misbehave. Thanks 
again for the workaround.
