if you are using QTR PC you don't use Photoshop for printing - you can't
convert anything on the fly at the point of printing - which was my point.

You can't edit the file in the QTR LAB Grey then assign a profile at the
point of printing. Everything has to be done when the file is saved - hence
my question (and Chris's I believe)

Actually there are significant differences in the way HPR and EEM print
