Digital BW, The Print

I missed the original question, but here is a short bit of info about my 
experiments with quad-black and Gimp:

I played a bit with WinGIMP, mostly to establish wether there was a 
viable open source solution for quad-black.

I used an Epson 1270 (stand-in for my 1280), and Paul Roark's 
curves, rather than the EZ system. I converted by hand some of the 
curves to the GIMP curves. (I learned today that there is a Perl 
script that should do the same thing)

Things seem to have worked fine. From my recollection, at least 
WinGIMP prints to the epson driver, so that was not a problem. I 
don't know if that's true of MacGIMP.

If you are interested in the curves, or a link to the source of the Perl 
script, let me know.
