QTR Grey Lab icc

2007-06-07 by Richard Smallfield

Hi,
I've always edited for QTR in QTR Grey Lab colour space and printed using QTR Grey Matte. 

I do this because it said to do it in the instructions.

Printing in Grey Matte.icc makes sense, but what difference would it make if I edited in Grey Gamma 2.2 as, when it is converted to QTR Grey Matte for printing, surely it will end up the same?

It's just a nuisance to have to convert to Grey Gamma 2.2 all the time whenever I want an image to display correctly on someone else's computer.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Richard
