QTR-Quadtone RIP

Ken
I was thinking in simpler terms.  I send you a print of my choosing, 
you send me a print of your choosing. If you don't like the print at 
the most you are out $10 dollars worth of ink, paper, and shipping.  
On the other hand, you might end up with a print you really enjoy.  
I'm not asking people to give up prints they can sell on Ebay for 100-
200 dollars.

What papers are you using as I would be interested in any curves 
you've created.  I want to standardize on 2 or 3 papers at the most.  
So far I like H. Photo Rag, E. Fine Art Velvet, and H. Matt Baryta
