Digital BW, The Print

It seems to me that printing in a Mac with QuadTone RIP, starting from Print with Preview 
in Photpshop CS, there is one additional selection to take care of.  The first window that 
opens up, calls for a profile definition, on the paper being used with the printer.  How 
does this interfere with the two curves on the QTR window?  In the next window, what 
media type should be selected?  It seems to me that the Help menu is missing for Mac.  
Can anybody help me please.

Unless you have switched to the new grayscale working spaces, put "same as source" in 
the profile option.  That was always there.

I don't know what you mean about an additional choice: the print with preview is from PS 
and has nothing to do with QTR (and is unchanged of course).

What next window?  you need to be clearer.  I see no media type ? but may not be looking 
where you are?  is an ink choice of course: matte or...

On file types, Roy recommends printing from a grayscale mode file, but in my limited 
testing (a beginner in QTR here) RGB seems to work too.

The use of the ICC print space profile is NOT dependent on use of Grey Lab
as a workspace.  Ideally, you would always use perceptual intent rendering
to convert to the print space regardless of what you have used as your
workspace.

I was thinking of gray matte and gray photo for paper, not the workspace

And yes even if you are not using Grey Lab you should still convert to
either Roy's Matte paper or Photo paper profiles for printing rather than
using Same as Source.
