Hi Steve,

Yes you totally right.
Still, I'm puzzled at seeing that when the Levels/alt+click routine is 
run black is not at pure black. Is this a QTR-ICC issue or a PS one, 
the former one seems the most likely one.

This would still mean the file does not have 100%K values when sent to 
QTR : isn't it strange. Pure Black seems to be mapped to paper blackest 
reproduceable tone at the file level, e.g. the driver does not get a 
100%K value fed in.
