QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hello,

I tried the Beta code and could not get it to print with my R1800. I
keep getting a I/O 32 error message. I tried both firewire and usb
connections to the printer.

I read that this is a problem and you have to use the r800 selection
instead. I tried this and it printed but very light.

So I guess as a newbie I have a ton of questions. I did read lots of
the guide stuff but still have some questions to get in the right
direction.

Several people are using the RIP and getting marvelous BW prints with
their R1800.

So...I certainltly would like to do so as well.

Would someone please tell me what papers are supportted and what curves?
I hear only matte paper works, but i can select glossy etc..so I am a
bit confused as to what to select etc...

Is there anyway to get the R1800 printer to print without selecting
the r800 or should i worry about this at all?

Many thanks!!
Alex
