Thank
you for turning my head straight - it's now 1/2-way there. I have
just made my first print on Hanhemule photorag paper. It turned out
surprisingly well compared to my darkroom B/W printing. I used the Epson 2200
and the Inkjetmall (Vermont) curve/profile (I still don't understand the
difference) and I obtained a quite decent black and a very fine tonal scale on
the portrait of a writer that I had done 18 years ago conventionally using Agfa
chloro/brom paper (May it rest in peace). . Thanks in good measure to you, I'm
learning. Joachim

profiles for
the Epson driver unless they are explicitly labeled as either QTR ICC
profiles
made with the QTR-Create-ICC utility or as the QTR curves/profiles for
the
QTR driver. These curves/profiles are what you would most like want.
You can usually tell by the extension -- .icc or icm is for ICC
profiles,
.quad, .qidf or .txt is for QTR curves/profiles.
There aren't any H Photo Rag curves in the QTR download. I would think
you'd
do pretty well with the Entrada or Premier Fine Art profiles. You must
use some
curve otherwise the output will be very dark.
