QTR-Quadtone RIP

HI Paul,

Thanks for chiming in here.

My goal is to get as neutral prints as possible, and I really like the tone using the Galerie Smooth Pearl papers, its just perfect. 

I've used your Kirkland-Glossy-N ICC for prints on other papers as a "generic" Glossy curve, maybe I should just give it a shot here too..

:)


Cheers,
J.F. Felinik
