Thanks for that.  I've tried using both of these, however neither will take me through QTR.  This means I can't run the calibration mode.  

There may be something simple and obvious I am missing, but whatever that may be I am at a loss to know.  I am going back to printing via sRGB IEC61966-2.1 as this seems close.  Maybe it's fine, but as I said, from 50% up there is little noticable difference in tone, visually.  A bit like the top end of a 50 step wedge.

regards

Ross
