Paul.
I use the 3000 with a version of your VM mix(slightly lighter and more
desaturated toner). It gives a narrower, but adequate for my purposes,
range of tones using QTR. For much of my work from older film
negatives it works wonderfully well at anything from 11x14 on up.I
have far more of a problem in overcoming film grain and tonality
issues with old and small negs than any dot issues.

You do need to make your own linearisation curves for the 3000 under
QTR as there were none predone that I saw in the distribution I'm
currently using. Your recent release of the scanner___create-icc
workflow info should help folks greatly with that. I suspect they can
pick standard curves from Roy's package that approximate their own
printers timeframe and then use create-icc and your workflow or a
densitometer to finish off for their own use. It also is not that
difficult to generate the QTR curves from scratch using the scanner
technique even without create-icc. The set of gray,matt,photo profiles
that Roy provided initialy can be used to good effect as well.

Regards
Duane
