QTR-Quadtone RIP

Alan

Just to confirm the details

1. you have an image that prints the way you like using the Epson driver
using Paul Roark's curves.
2. With that image you have used the Photoshop Convert to Profile (i.e not
the Assign Profile) menu to convert it to the QTR-Matte-Paper profile
4. you actually printed the image on matte paper
3. the blacks are still muddy when compared to the print with Paul's curves?

Sorry to be so pedantic in my response. Your last reply was involved and
seemed to leave the potential for confusion on my part.
