It actually does softproof the toning so represents the final print 
quite well if the customer knows how soft proofing in PS should work.
For printing from Photoshop it will not use the a and b curves but only 
the greyscale curve, the toning is hard coded in the media preset of 
QTR. Like it is when used with Epson ABW or the HP B&W modes of the 
B9180 and Z models.

Tyler will not use the profile in his Studioprint workflow so when the 
profile is created from a QTR target printed through Studioprint it will 
be a softproof profile only but usable for that task. Any Spectrometer 
will be usable tp create the profile.
