Digital BW, The Print

It was my understanding that QTR Lab Gray is intended to be the 
Grayscale Working Space.  I have made it my default for working on 
grayscale files.  You can do this by clicking on Edit/Color Settings 
and then change the Gray Working Space to QTR Lab Gray.  Early in 
the editing process I click on "View/Custom/QTR-Matte" which is my 
saved name for Roy's softproof profile for QTR with Matte papers.  
After editing is complete, save as a TIFF file and open or jump to 
QTR to print it.  

If you use QTR for most of your grayscale printing, it makes sense 
to use the Lab Gray as your default space.
