QTR-Quadtone RIP

Roy (or anyone who can help),

You mention there are Premiun Lustre profiles, but I can't find them.
 I am using an Epson 4000 with the UC inkset and would love to have a
profile for Premium Lustre.  I am assuming that by profile, you are
talking about what is in the Curves dropdown box?

Sorry about my ignorance, but I am new to using QTR.

Thanks,
Sheila
