QTR-Quadtone RIP

Epson doesn't list any of their heavy papers like Velvet so I'm not sure
the printer is going to work well with heavy papers.  Cone/Piezo are the ones
who created the profiles so maybe they have more info on using heavy papers.
Even on the R2400 Epson recommends the manual slot for Velvet rather than
the sheet feeder.
At least some of the Han. papers come in thinner stock.
