There is a certain symmetry here: the layout software company that the world
loves to loathe sticking up for the RIP company that the world loves to
loathe... But in fact, other RIPs work as well or better with Quark, and are
smoother in the bargain.

That is to be expected in all output with this RIP...

Well, it works a good bit better than the iPRoof RIP, and has much smoother
output, and fewer bugs, and the price is right... so until an obvious
successor comes along, I'd say get a copy.
