Hi Myron,

Richard sounds a bit sarcastic here, but he has a point. QTR and 
(from hearsay) PrintFixPro are both excellent tools. Both have there 
pros and cons, but for when starting with B&W printing those are not 
so relevant. Important is that they require quite a different 
workflow. From own recent experience I know it takes some effort to 
get that workflow right. So, like Richard implicitly seem to suggest, 
select one or the other and get yourself acquinted with it. From what 
I read in this forum, probably PFP could be the better starting point 
for you, given the fact that you already own it and use UT3D inks.

But if you decide differently, I'm happy to help you out where I can.

Joost
