I assume you make a mistake here, since as far as I know the UT7 inks 
do not have a selenium toner. I would expect either a SEPIA curve for 
UT7 or a selenium for UT3D.

These are probably the 1440 dpi curves I created some time ago as 
modification from the UT7 curves. Please discard the split-tone curves. 
With the new split-tone feature of QTR they have become obsolete.

1) If you're on windows, copy the file to new directory (for instance 
called 2100-UT3D) under: 

C:\Program Files\QuadToneRip\profiles\2100-UT3D

2) start up QTR and under "tools" select "curve creations

3) for each curve: open the curve "file"-"open" and press "Create curve"

2) and 3) are neccesary to translate the ASCII .qidf files into 
binary .quad files (stored in the "Quad" directory) that are actually 
used while printing.

Success,

Joost
