Digital BW, The Print

Come on people, QTR paper curves are not the same as ICC profiles.  The man
is asking for QTR curves for HPR - not ICC profiles.  If you need a curve
for HPR you can make one with the necessary equipment or someone who has
made a curve can distribute one.  The EEM curve is a good substitute in the
interim - I can tell you that about the only change that would be made is to
redo the linearization.
