In his most recent post Carl Schofield offered to easiest solution to your
problem. Just start with the QIDF file that was part of his email.

1. convert the text from the email to a QIDF
2. print an ink separation page (using QTR) to figure out your ink limits
3. edit the QIDF to adjust the ink limits for your paper
4. linearize the curve
5. start printing
