Digital BW, The Print

Andreas

QTR does not use ICC profiles (except as described in Roy's latest addition
of QTR Matte and QTR Photo and this is done in the PS print pane not in the
QTR driver pane).  For all matte paper QTR "profiles" (and in fact, I
believe, for most RC paper profiles) the paper choice is simply "Matt
Paper".  QTR uses curves which people have erroneously been referring to as
profiles.  These curves are selected in the QTR print pane (I am a Mac user
and so do not know exactly what the QTR PC GUI looks like).  As I understand
it, no specific HPR curves have been made for the PC version (I may be out
of date on this and some may have been made available in the last week or
so).  In this case just use the EEM curves for now.  Making your own curves
requires a bit more understanding and work.

I strongly recommend you go through Roy's new ICC addition and use QTR Gray
as your workspace and prior to printing convert your image to QTR Matte
(don't lose your original master image).  Instructions have been posted here
many times before and there is a readme in Roy's download.
