Digital BW, The Print

Roy and others,

Thanks-- yes it was a bad cups-devel.rpm file.  I downloaded a new 
one from Redhat and got QuadToneRIP to build just fine.  Yeah!

Now I need help with installing the curves though.  I want to use 
Epson Premium Luster paper with Ultrachrome inks for my printing.  I 
looked in both the sampleInks and Profiles directories of 
QuadToneRIP, but didn't see any ink curves for Epson Premium 
Luster.  I saw curves for Enhanced Matt and some other papers.  

Where can I get the curves for Premium Luster--UC inks and how do I 
install them?  I downloaded the Epson UC2200.SIT file from Roy's 
site, but I have no idea what to do with a .SIT file or if it 
contains curves for Premium Luster.  Perhaps there is some doc on 
this I didn't see?

Just to see if I could do a print, I installed the already-provided 
curves for Enhanced Matte.  But when I ran qtcups no curves showed 
up in the dialog box (My QUAD2200 printer and QuadToneRIP choices do 
show up OK).  I selected Premium Luster paper in the dialog so 
perhaps that is why no curves showed up?

Once I have the curves installed for Premium Luster, what settings 
should I use in the qtcups dialog box for that paper type?

Thanks in advance for your help (anyone not just Roy!).  I am so 
close on getting this to work I can taste the ink :)
