QTR-Quadtone RIP

Carl,GG 2.2 has a couple of advantages. For non-color managed bw workflows
like Epson's ABW, a file encoded with GG 2.2 onscreen will come closer to
the printed densities because that is the tone curve the driver is assuming.
Of course, in a fully color-managed workflow the embedded profile won't
matter. But for bw it seems GG 2.2 has become the standard, so it's good to
get in the habit of using it. Like Roy has stated, the main thing is to use
a consistent approach.
