QTR-Quadtone RIP

I've uploaded a new version of QTR.   This is both a Mac and PC release
There are quite a few new features so I've decided to call it a beta release 
-- it has been tested quite a bit so I don't anticipate any serious problems.

Major additions:
Support for more printers:
R800 and R1800,  works best at 2880 dpi
4800 tested but only preliminary un-linearized curves.
R2400 very new, needs calibration.  I've haven't had any access to one yet.

Speed enhancements.
The CPU usage has been reduced quite a lot in some cases.  2880dpi is much better.

Some new tools.
The Calc-Density program has been superceded with a QTR-Linearize-Data
that is available on both Mac and PC and also shows a rough graph of
Lab data to see both linearity and color variation.

QTR-Create-ICC  is the newest feature.  It creates grayscale ICC printing
profiles.  Although packaged as a QTR tool it is a general purpose program that
can accurately profile any B&W printing workflow.  The current version only 
supports the Eye-One/MeasureTool data format.  It uses the same target files
and reference files that the QTR linearizing function has always used. The profiles 
created do full Perceptual Intent mapping of the grayscale and allow Ink Black and 
Paper White simulation in SoftProofing.  See Eye-One folder in either Mac or PC
versions for information.

Meant to add.  The download page has a link to
the beta versions at the top -- follow this to the 2.3 versions.

Roy:

Thanks SO much for this latest iteration of QTR.  I am so excited about it 
that I just ordered an Eye-One from Adorama.

You imply that other measuring tools may be supported later, can you share 
which you may have in mind?

Thanks again..... Jack Winberg
