QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hi John,

I'm using an X-Rite Pulse (DTP20) and can let you have a 
comprhensive pdf I got from X-rite last week. It contains a link to 
download Toolcrib (which includes Xkey) and a link to download 
colorshop X, which is what I use. The information in the pdf is 
easy to follow. I download to a spread sheet (because the spectro 
gives me C M Y info as well) and copy from the spreadsheet and paste 
into QTR.

The DTP 32 shows up in Colorshop X from a dropdown menu, so I think 
it might be compatable, but it doesn't show up in the Toolcrib menu 
as a valid device. Let me know if you would like the pdf/

regards, Jamie
