Thanks again Jon,

Based on your comments I looked again to the studioprint options. To clarify: there seems to be NO possibility to import user curves per ink channel like one can in QTR.

 If that would be possible, one could make an own profiler/curve editing tool and all possible ink strategies would be open. But again, that seems not te be the case, right? Or am I missing something (which I hope)?
