QTR-Quadtone RIP

Roy, do you have any thoughts on the quality of the fine art prints 
from the K7 inks using QTR, especially with a 4000?  They claim great 
tonal seperation, smooth transitions and an all around improvement in 
quality.  I'm not sure about how black their blacks are going to be.  
I was told the dMax on Hann Photo Rag was 1.62.  Do you consider that 
a good black?

Thanks,

Bob
