Thanks Steve,

I have the profiles but didn't make much sense of Roy's explanation.

What is the actual workflow? Should I convert the RGB file (which
looks fine on screen) then save as RGB with the profile for print in
QTR? Or should it be converted to Grayscale? (in which case converting
first to Roy's profile wouldn't make a difference).

David.
