Septone kit arrived yesterday.

#1: You need a spare active USB port for the "CryptoBox" 
(a.k.a. "dongle") in order to load the software.

#2: After installing, "Septone" shows up in Photoshop's Export menu, 
as it's supposed to, but no profiles, media, ink tint, or anything 
else.

I did not install the ink cartridges because I wanted to become 
familiar with the interface, etc., first. I'm wondering if the 
Septone interface needs to read data from the cartridges. I don't 
want to risk swapping Ultrachromes for Septones only to discover it 
doesn't matter... and then be stuck with a dead printer.

I sent the following email to R9, and haven't heard back from them so 
far:

Following your Acrobat info file, I do not see the profiles, nor do I 
see the Septone dialog window with the tint sliders, ink and media 
selections, etc. I have NOT installed the ink cartridges. If they 
have to be installed in order to access the plug-in, then I guess my 
query is answered.  Otherwise... ??
