Digital BW, The Print

Ok.  Well with the Mac version it is easy to edit the .txt files to make a
new "curve" that would accommodate GLOP on the 7600.  With Carl's help even
I can now do this.  And like I said you would best put the GLOP in the C or
M slots because with the UC inks loaded you need the other inks.  Flushing a
single slot with a QTR curve is easy also.  I just don't know how, even if
we did the curves, you get them up on the PC version for you to try.  But
hasn't the ability to edit and construct curves been added to the PC
version?  Perhaps someone like Roy or Steve (QTR GUI ?) could chime in here.
Of course your ink limits and linearization will be all out of whack because
you are using an EEM curve on RC paper but you will at least test the
bronzing issue.
