QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hi Steve.

I've read enough about how these printers work to know you're certainly correct. The 
difference I'm seeing experimenting with a few different papers and settings though, 
makes me think that there could/should be a way, if not to eliminate bronzing altogether, 
to at least minimize it to acceptable level. E.g. Kodak pro glossy/luster papers seem to 
display a very minimal amount of bronzing even w/o GLOP.

So, being new to the group, I'm wondering how much actual testing has been done about 
bronzing reduction with OEM inks (since right now a dedicated B&W is not an option for  
me...)

Thanks and best,

   Giancarlo
