Also first, I think, post.  I appreciate, and can scarcely do without Studio.  I use the software to print, not process raw or tiff/jpeg files, doing editing and prep for printing in another program.  I fear, with the release of Ultimate, that to get meaningful updates, that I will be "forced" to buy the new program to keep the printing side up to date.  No new updates for Studio, while Ultimate has had 10.  I appreciate Mike's entheusiasm with Ultimate, but hope he won't forget those who use his product for printing.

Mike, is there any chance you will change your mind and allow true 16 bit printing with Qimage?  I am currently looking at Canon, HP and Epson wide format printers and 16 bit is an important feature in my evaluation.  I read your treatise on 8 bit versus 16 bit and am not fully convinced.  It used to be said 8/16 made no difference in PS, but I think that has been laid to rest.  I know I have more latitude when working up a 16 bit file.  Hope to hear that someday you will make this available.  Thanks.
