>Those curves are not to be used with the Cone K6 inkset --R220 works well with the 
Cone K6 inkset, great neutral prints using the  K6 R200 print model and the K6 curves 
provided in QTR - on matte papers (I think that there are five or six choices) - no 
bronzing at all- paper tone does have an effect and you should experiment to find out 
what you like - The Cone curves will work for other papers - ie - The curve for bradford 
natural works wonderfully for hawkmountain merlin.  Only thing to watch out for is paper 
feeding issues - printing papers coated on both sides tend to make the feed roller 
slick/slippery - and cause mis feeds - roller can be cleaned with a cue tip and 91% 
alchohol - even then, thicker papers may need to be coaxed a bit.
