Re: [QuadtoneRIP] Previous knowledge. Where can I find what I need?

Thanks Roy. 
About what I mean with  "not satisfactory": my test prints with the raw curves produced grays where I expected blacks. But I'll try the other curves.
The problem I addressed is my not understanding the process as described in the user's guide.  Perhaps it's above me :-(  Or I am just unprepared.
Just as an example:
In the old (wet) days I used to calibrate a batch of film and match it to a batch of paper I liked to use. I also practiced "visualization", trying to match my perception of a scene to values of an abbreviated gray scale  I'd stored in my mind (no, not 10 Zones, just some :-) . The results were not exact, to be sincere, but I had the feeling that I understood what I was doing - what happened and why - in every step. I understood what happened if I changed anything. I could "fine tune" the process if I wished.and  also roughly predict the results. 

Now digital: My intention with QTR is to arrive to some kind of B&W softproofing. To be able to predict what will be printed related to what I see in my monitor. Eventually changing this or that parameter.

Thanks for your patience :)

Jorge

The raw curves are unlinearized.   I don“t know what you mean as
not satisfactory.  Try the other pk ones.  If you really need to do your
own start with the existing ones.
