QTR-Quadtone RIP

Mike and Eddie,

The issue of Eboni ink and photo papers tends to be confusing.
Actually Eboni cannot be used on photo paper at all.   To get
around this the Prem Luster profiles were made using NO black
ink.  It turns out that the two dark gray inks are sufficient to
produce a decent dMax without a K ink.  So when you print with
these profiles it doesn't matter what K ink is loaded -- its not used.
The nice thing is you can leave Eboni in there for printing on
matte paper and not have to switch inks.

There aren't any curves for the new papers -- I FibaGloss, C SilverRag,
and H Pearl, but I imagine the Prem Luster would be a good enough
match, at least to start with.
