Follow-up [QuadtoneRIP] Re: What are the benefits?
2007-08-23 by labfae@aol.com
Thank you for your response. I guess I worded it wrong. I am not looking for speed in printing my final picture, but to have more control over the final print. What I don't like about the PS/Epson system is that I can't print from just PS, but must make decisions in Epson also. When doing this, if you miss one thing you are now left with not that you planned. This is what I meant by redundant. If I understand QTR, I import in TIFF and then all decisions are within QTR up to and including printing. B&W is my forte and am always looking to improve the final output. Lastly, how is the learning curve and is the manual self sufficient? Again, thanx for your assistance and time Lew In a message dated 8/23/2007 4:56:25 AM Pacific Daylight Time, keff.antispam@... writes: > --- In QuadtoneRIP@yahoogroups.com, labfae@... wrote: > > > ... > >mostly of female models and landscapes.
