Digital BW, The Print

Well, i have been researching this topic for a bit, and really havent
made much progress. The Windows version does not apparently supply all
of the required pieces, and the MacOS version, while it provides some
of the extras, i believe is somewhat out of date. (I believe that the
format of the profiling files changed with version 2.x, and I am not
sure that the Mac version followed.)

While QTRGui provides a 'calibration' mode for printing certain
targets, there really doesnt seemed to be much overall information
available on how to go about this process.

I posted a similar item last week on this list because I would like to
do the same using lyson cave paints on my 7600, and build the
appropriate profiles, but I pretty much recieved no responses to my
earlier request.

So I guess the question, more generally, is 'What is the current state
of profile building in QTR, is it version sensitive (apparently), and
is there a documented process somewhere for the current release that
explains this?
