QTR-Quadtone RIP

Will do.  I do all my B/W printing with the ABW driver since it gives a deeper black point and more linear response even in the absence of a profile or Photoshop curve.  I've profiled three papers so far:  Ilford Gold Fiber Silk, Museo Silver Rag, and Canson Plantine Fiber Rag (the three principal gloss papers I print on) and will do the matte papers in a couple of days.  Reading the unadjusted patches (either 21 or 51 step) reveals a pretty good linear response with both papers with somewhat higher contrast in the midtones.  I used the "dark" tone setting for all three papers (and this is also something I will need to go back and look at since most papers fall between the neutral & darker setting).

I don't know whether this is a Win7 issue or not (I'm the only user of my computer and the administrator).  At any rate, I moved them to a dedicated ABW folder outside of the Quadton RIP file that is located in the Program Files folder and they run fine.
