[Digital BW] Re: Mac, OVI hextone, 3800, print help please

it's the Mac/Adobe/Epson color management nightmare. The file should have been untagged so conversion not possible, rather it should be assigned sRGB, then additionally sRGB is chosen as the printer profile in the PS print dialogue when letting PS manage color. This is only for the ink sep file, your normal image files, presumably in grayscale don't require this insanity.
Still, if the ink sep file looks correct, than then when printing a real file your proper curve is available on the list for selection (indication it is installed) and the result not right then there is some other problem, either the curve itself, a setting in QTR, something... have you tried the QTR forum?
