QTR-Quadtone RIP

Isn't 46 cm simply too wide for a 2100?

Thanks Stephen, and thanks for your great work on the GUI.

This particular image isn't that big - about 355 MB if memory serves 
as a 46 cm x 31 cm image at 720 ppi.

At 36 cm wide it is 24 cm high and comes in at 220 MB or something 
like that as a 720 ppi file.

I am running with 2 gigs of Corsair XMS RAM on a 2.6 GHz system. 
Photoediting is done on a RAID 0 array. I do have the system set up 
to give PS CS2 about 1.5 gigs of my RAM but I am quite sure this 
problem has occurred with and without PS running in the background.

I really do not feel as if I should be overstressing the 
capabilities of QTR asking it to handle a 720 ppi file that comes in 
at 355 megs. Surely many people here print at max resolution for 13 
x 19 format prints. 

I suppose I could hit the print button anyway...but I am rather 
reluctant as I have those big red warnings telling me some Invalid 
Tiff Tags are present etc. ....I hate to blow a sheet of HPR unless 
I know everything is ready to go.

Kind of am hoping that someone here can spot a simple thing I might 
be doing wrong, or even chime in if they have successfully fed 
images out of Qimage at 720 ppi into QTR.

Thanks for the comments,

Dave
