Digital BW, The Print

Hi Roy,

QTR-Create-ICC is really a great addition to QTR and an invaluable  
tool for other B&W workflows as well.  I made an icc profile for the  
Epson 2400 (replaced my old 2200), using the ADV BW mode and it  
really improved the linearity and opened up the shadows.  I also  
installed the 2400 as a QTR USB printer (using firewire for the Epson  
driver) but I haven't made any QTR profiles yet.  Is version 2.3  
fully functional for the 2400?  I assume that profiling is pretty  
much the same, except for the new 8 ink inksep file and adding LLK as  
the 3rd gray in the partitioning.
