Frans,

Getting the workflow right is a bit of struggle in the beginning, you 
should be able to get at least an even good match with QTR as you 
have with the epson driver fairly quickly.

However, in my B&W printing journey I have experienced 
that "excellent match" is highly subjective. When I started 
(something like 8 montsh ago) with QTR, quite quickly I got what I 
felt a "perfect match" between print and monitor. But apparently 
one's eye develops and gradually I started to see the deviations. And 
I feel I'm now limited by this monitor/viewing booth mismatch I 
adressed in my post to Tom. But every step has its proper time....
