I think if you're going to use ABW, don't use curves. You might still be abel to use the linearization of the QTR app. (It's been a while since I've used this. So ...)

Thanks for your reply, PauI! I read this and the accompanying document at http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/Embedding_Photoshop_Curves_in_ICCs.pdf that you link to in this file.
My first question is where I would get an .acv curve file for a p800 with stock inks, or how should I produce a curve file like that? Second, given that curve, how would I print the step tablet with the curve? My goal is to apply this to the p800 in ABW mode, so would I just apply the curve to the step tablet image, and print with ABW as usual?From that point on your document clarified a ton of things for me. For one, it is cool that you could just put density values directly in the text file!

Is this possible to do? What format should the readings be put in? Any help much appreciated!
