Jean-Marc,
The softproofing should be the same as with
the 2200. You cannot 'softproof' the blends, but rather the tonality and
contrast. Printing step wedges on your chosen paper with the blends you
prefer is the best way to 'preview' what to expect from those.
Use the gray-LAB profile (from the QTR
download page) to softproof in PS. You will process a b/w as usual,
convert to gray-LAB, use your softproof with either the gray matte or gray
photo profile depending upon the paper/ink to be used. Then set the proof
with perceptual intent, black ink. Now you can adjust tonality and
contrast by a variety of means, dodge and burn, etc. as needed. When done,
save this (gray LAB) as your master file (that way you can print with either
ink), convert this to either gray matte or gray photo profile and save.
Open this file in QTR and set your blends, ink as desired and
print.
Hope this helps.
Diane

Hello,

QTR, Photoshop CS and windows XP on an Epson 4000(with a calibrated

Thank you very much for your help
