QTR-Quadtone RIP

The media type is a holdover from older printers that need to make
mechanical adjustments for different paper types (thicknesses etc.). The
2200 doesn't need this info, so leave the media type set to Matte Paper.

The curve you select should be suited to the paper you are using. Note, that
often a curve for one paper might be used with another with useful results.
For example the UCpk_MCeramic... curves seem to me to work better with Epson
PSG than the curves for PSG.
