Hi Luco,
The files on the PC and Mac are identical and same meaning. You are just
looking at different measurements of the curve. The ink limits in create are
basically multipliers of the curve you get from all the other parameters.
On the Mac you are seeing the graph of the curve with every thing calculated.
So your light ink don't get to 34 because of the curve smoothing.
You can also see the curve on PC by right-clicking the curve in the main pane.
There is no "global ink limit" -- the default ink limit is just a default value for any
inks that you didn't specify a limit for. So if you need more ink just up ink limits.
100 is lots of ink and 100 with multiple inks can give a ridiculous amount of ink.
I'm not sure what you mean by "no black boost" -- don't put 0, make it the
same as the K ink limit if you want no effect. Somewhere between that and 100
will up the K ink more steeply at the darkest end.

Hello everyone,
This is my first post here. Fist of all, I have already found a lot of information in this group, thanks for you work!
I'm working with QTR to make profiles for Digital Negatives adapted to silver print.
I am experimenting a problem with a particular profile that require a little bit as usual. This is a simple profile in two parts :
K : density 100 / limit 32%
LK : follow K / limit 32%
M : follow K / limit 32%
LLK : density 16 / limit 34%
LM : follow LLK / limit 34%
Y : follow LLK / limit 34%
C and LC are not used, global Ink limit is set to 100 / no black boost.
I have created this profile with the GUI in windows and then installed on my mac. The problem is that when I open it with QTR view, I see that the Ink limit for LLK/LM/Y is now 27% and the limit for K/LK/M is 31%.
I don't think it is an issue between Window and Mac as the text file looks Ok when imported to the mac. Perhaps the problem is the ink limit in QTR as the total ink should be more than 100% in this profile.
Have one of you experimented such a problem? Is there a way to say to QTR that I need more than 100% ink?
Thanks for you help
Luco
