QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hi F_P,

That's the right approach for the K7s.  They used a different method to get the
curves so there's no sources for curve modifying.  However I did one
for the 2200
so you'll find K7-1440-HanPhotoRag.txt in the 2200-K7 folder.

There's all another approach you might consider.  Just make a custom ICC
profile built on top of an existing K7 qtr curve.  This does a very good job
matching the screen to print,  it gives you softproofing as well.  You can even
base the ICC on a K7 curve with changes in the ink limit in the print dialog.
(be sure that you always use the same ink limit change when printing).
