Digital BW, The Print

John,

The dot size weighting adjustment for the 2200 required a patch and I 
don't know if this patch has been applied to the QTR version currently 
on Roy's download page.  Perhaps Roy can clarify this point.  The matte 
paper profiles on my filesharing site are for the QTR version without 
the dot size weighting adjustment.  I've re-linearized the EEM and 
Premier profiles for the QTR version with the dot size weighting 
adjustment, but I haven't uploaded them yet.
