Hello Paul,

Wow. I think I've found what I've been looking for all along. BO printing for both matte and glossy paper plus choice of tones for  matte paper by combining both PK and MK inks. All this with only two carts containing inks. (The other carts containing cleaning fluid).

Had a look at QTR's curve creation tool as you've suggested in a previous message and will look into this further next week. I think it's about time that I really learn to use QTR.

Thanks for everything,
André
