Digital BW, The Print

The easiest way to have a 50% black only (or 3-MK) plus 50% Eboni-6 is to
blend those two profiles with the sliders in QTR.  So, you'd make the
individual profiles as usual.  The 3-MK takes a hand drawn basic curve, but
that curve and how to use it are explained in the QTR profiles for the 1800.
