Re: using PFP to create QTR profile data

Thanks. The process seems simple enough.

But since ABW is not a ICC based process, I would assume that the QTR ICC
has no bearing on the actual printing of the print.

If that is the case, then the QTR ICC process really just results in a
method to soft proof within PS.

Is the summary correct? If it is, why specify the ICC profile at all when
printing?

I must be missing something. Basically, other than the soft proof, what's
the point of a QTR ICC (or any ICC) when printing in ABW mode?

Dave.
