QTR-Quadtone RIP

Dear Mike:

Thanks for the advice.  I am going to assume that you are a Mac user, 
as Windows users can not print from Photoshop or any ohter 
application for that matter.  We must convert the document to a TIFF 
first, then print directly through QTR.

Settings) in PS3 to Adobe 1998, Gamma 2.2 BEFORE you work on the 
image and save it as a .psd document because you will eventually ask 
PS to manage the colors in the PRINT dialog box.
