Jon, I'm going to be doing the same thing with my 7500 in the near future. I intend to put the dark gray (FS-C) in the C and M spots. The medium gray (FS-M) will go in the LC and LM spots, and the light gray (FS-Y) will go in the Y position. I will be making curves for the 7500, 9500, 7000, and 9000. I recommend you follow this arrangement as long as QTR is compatible with it. It works very well in the desktop hextone printers. You might as well use an ink position that works with both QTR and the Epson driver so that you can use either one to print. If the same densities are in the C & LC, for example, it will not be able to be printed with the Epson driver.

A note I got from Paul Roark got me thinking about which inks to put in which positions. The instructions with the QTR software, which I intend on using, says one can chose their own positions. The options seem to be; having the dark gray in the Cyan and the Magenta locations and the medium gray in the LC and LM positions. Or the dark gray in the Cyan and LC and the medium gray in the Magenta and LM spots. Does anybody have any thoughts about this, or even better, is somebody using this combination of printer, ink and driver and has already figured out the most practical use of ink locations ? TIA J.Z.
