QTR-Quadtone RIP

> Hi, my name is Martin Herrera.  I'm a documentary photographer based in Montevideo, Uruguay.  I started testing QTR to print Black and White, using UC inks (for the time being).  I managed to setup and print using QTR from Photoshop, yet when I print from Aperture, what I get looks more like a negative than the actual print.
