QTR-Quadtone RIP

I am on my first attempt to perform ink linearization on an Epson 7600 
printer. I am using Selenium inks #2 through #7 from Inkjetmall. The Photo 
Black slot contains Flush. My goal is to produce digital positives/negatives 
for use in making copper plate gravure and palladium prints. 


I am using a Mac Pro with OSX El Capitan and Photoshop CS6 along with QTR and 
Print Tool. Here is my workflow. I open the QTR inkseparation.tif image in 
Photoshop. I get a text box that states it is an untagged image and offers me 
options for profiles. I choose Leave as Is (don't color Management). I label 
it as 'Epson 7600-100-6 Ink' and save it back into the QTR Image folder. I 
open the Print Tool. The Printer box shows Quad7600-K7. I press the + sign to 
add an image and select Epson 7600-100-6 Inks. The image opens and shows an 
Imbedded Profile of sRGBIEC61966-2.1. I can't figure out where the Untagged 
image gets this profile. In Photoshop I have set up the policies under Color 
Settings to preserve the embedded profile. I suspect cockpit trouble but can't 
see what I am doing wrong. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. 


Cheers, 


Charlie
