QTR-Quadtone RIP

There's not a lot of variation that you can do.  You can add small amounts
of color to vary the tone but that about all.   It's all experimentation to
see what you like.  The EPGPP profile actually does a little of this.

The Artisan 50 pulls the paper through without printing. I am reading your tutorials and so far I have understood: As I have just black ink the only parameter I need is the black ink limit, right? Is there another way to test it?
