Thank you paul for the help.

I spent a better sunday.

I used QTR on a pc and I managed to create a good curve using only 4 
inks on my 1200 and the prints are good enough.
It has been much more difficult on mac.I still didn't manageged to 
create a curve with this version of software. It's all in english 
and more difficult for me to understand
Now i'm trying to use the other two toner (blue).
How much amount of ink (toner) should be used to create a more 
neutral print? 20% 30%?
