Digital BW, The Print

Not that I am aware of.

Note that the QTR-Gray Matte profile has a specific tonal response curve
which I understand assumes linearity of L from dMin to dMax.  My
understanding is that your curves do not have that "shape".  The ICC profile
is "relatively" simple in that it is really just a single k curve - you can
see the curve with the Colorsync utility on a Mac and can compare it with
say the Photo paper curve.  You might best pursue with Roy whether the kTRC
information can be tailored to how you target the densities when
constructing your curves.  That would likely give you an even better soft
proof.  As I have said before I am not sure that this is possible but given
that you ought to be able to enter any TRC then it ought to be achievable.
