QTR-Quadtone RIP

Bob,  from what I've seen on the 2200 the inks are very capable of very
smooth prints.  At 2880dpi even with a loupe there are no visible dots that
I can see.  Good profiles are needed to get all this but since the inks are
so simple in concept its quite straightforward to make good profiles.
The dMax of 1.62 is in the ballpark -- not spectacular but not bad either.
