QTR-Quadtone RIP

Terry,
Thank you for that! At this time I don't have plans to convert my printer to an all B&W as I print color as well. But it would be nice to see prints done that way. A few years back I was playing around with MIS inksets in a 1200 I dedicated to B&W, but never got the dmax to my likeing. Now with improved K3 epsons, and QTR(I didn't know of it back then)I can play some more and get better results than I did 5 years ago. You know, the dark ages....
Thanks again!
