Digital BW, The Print

If you are using the 7600 and UC inks then use the M or C slot.  Tweaking
the QTR curve is not hard (Carl has given me a few lessons - thanks for your
patience Carl!).  Are you using the standard (ie provided) curves or your
own?  What platform?  I can send you a curve to flush the cart if you need
it but I do think you are better off using one of the other slots as
K,LK,LC,LM and Y are used by the QTR curves already.

BTW I took a walk through your website today - very nice stuff (and good
links section)
