QTR-Quadtone RIP

Thanks Berel,
So I assume you are using the Gray Gamma 2.2 from Photoshop? Suggested by the Piezo 
site instructions? Are you on a mac? Don't you find that using that profile darkens the 
image quite a bit considering that the native Gamma for Mac is 1.8?
Or you printing an RGB file? If so, how?
May I ask what exactly you workflow is? Settings? I am fairly proficient with the mac, just 
new to this...
Thanks,
Steve
