QTR-Quadtone RIP

Thanks to Roy and Eric for making the clear the point about which txt
file to use for creating a profile.  What you say made sense the more
I thought about it, and this seems to be what the "Eye-One-ReadMe.pdf"
document implies.  

However if I do as instructed I am finding that my prints and
especially the shadows seem a bit darker than the screen (which is
also profiled with the i1).  While I realise that colour management,
linearisation etc are not exact sciences, I guess having spent the big
bucks on an i1, I was hoping to get a bit closer.  I have remeasured
the test strip printed with the linear curves several times, and
compared the results.  There can be a fair bit of variation (within
the range +/- 1%), especially in the highlights.

In relation to the internal name for the profile, can I suggest that
you append rgb to the internal rgb profile name.  If I am printing
thought Qimage, then I use the rgb version, and if printing through
PS, I use the greyscale version.  Thus it is helpful to have both, and
to have internal names to indicate which is which.

I am still keen to hear about those who are using the CM in Qimage for
B&W and those who are not, and if not, why not

Roy - can you please explain the following a bit more?  I assume that
this will create a generic profile *with* BPC.  So you literally just
have a text file containing "16 96"?  Wild!
