Digital BW, The Print

As a starting point, download the LAB profile that Roy posted -- see
message/52160 -- install it with your other ICC profiles, open up in 
PS one of the images you've printed in QTR (open it in your default 
grayscale, i.e., working gray) then go to
Image, Mode, Assign Profile and assign the Lab Grayscale profile. You 
can preview the difference it makes. If the Lab Grayscale profiled 
image corresponds more closely to your print, then it makes sense 
that the profile would be the better one to work in when editing your 
images for QTR. In my case it does seem to come closer to what I'm 
getting out of the printer. Hope this helps as a first step.
