QTR-Quadtone RIP

Stephen,

I guess I'm still confused about something here. When print color 
images from photoshop, I have the ability to add profiles for all 
sorts of papers that supposedly adjust the ink usage based on the 
paper's ability to absorb the ink. Shouldn't we have the same 
information (probably in a different format) for those papers for 
use in QTR. Or is that what the curves are for?

By the way, I've been pretty satisfied with what comes with QTR. 
This is not a cry for more variables to deal with!

Thanks,
Dave
