Colin,

I use the Windows Curve Creator GUI and have to scroll down in the Yellow
window to "Load Curve" first.

> and LIMIT_GL to equal blank ,

When I open the file with Notepad, I see the terms you're changing, and that
seems correct.

In the Windows Curve Creator, after you copy the curve over, scroll down in
that window and put "Not Used" in the box.

>and change UNUSED_INK_3 to equal GL;

As I use the Curve Creator, I'm not 100% clear here, but it looks like the
Unused_Ink order might call for them to be in order C, M, R, B, and then GL.
So, GL would be UNUSED_INK_5=GL.  

>also that CURVE_GL is changed to CURVE_Y, 

Again, I'm not sure if the program is sensitive to the order, but it may be
that the CURVE_Y ... needs to be between the MK and PK curves.

In the Curve Creator, I'd just copy the GL numbers and paste them into the Y
points list.

>but do I keep Linearize as is for the first scan or delete that info?

If you are going to re-linearize the profile, then I'd eliminate the
linearization data for the test strip you'll print.  You might want to see
if the same linearization still works.  It has on my 1800 when I've changed
the ink positions.  I've heard on some others, however, that they needed
some re-linearization. 

Hope this helps.
