QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hi again,

I ended up with your UltraPremGlossPP-N-1-rgb ICC, it seems to work great for neutral on the Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl papers here.

So for the QTR PK-IlfGalerieSmoothPrl-BO and the other PK curves shipped with QTR, they all will need some kind of coating in order not to rub off when printed on the papers they actually represent? Is there any way to, in the future, add glop in those curves to ensure they don't rub off? That'd be just GREAT!


Thanks for your great work with MIS and with QTR, and for all your instruction PDF's out there!!!


Cheers
J.F. Felinik
