Hi Ed,

Use one of the standard gray spaces for the master file and editing.   It's not
critical which you use but don't use a soft-proof space.

For printing you should use either one of the Generic QTR Gray Matte/Photo Paper
spaces or a custom ICC made with QTR Create ICC.

On the Mac you just select this as a Print Space.  On a PC you must use
"Convert to Profile" and save it as a tiff file.
