QTR-Quadtone RIP

Tom,

If you think it might be useful to others please do put it in the  
files section.  I extracted the numbers from a file for the 2400  
printer so I don't think this can be used for other printers.  Note  
also that if anyone uses this file they should first delete the  
existing linearization data before using the file with new papers.  I  
actually got the idea form a post by Howard Shaw (see his example  
curves here: http://www.howardshaw.org/docs/k7-qtr/k7curves.htm).  He  
made a similar profile for the 2200 printer.  Roy was also looking  
into a way of automating the curve extraction from the .quad files,  
but I don't know if he has pursued this any further.

Regards,
Carl
