QTR-Quadtone RIP

Amadou/Roy,

I note in Amadou's Level 1 workflow that you convert to grayscale Gray Gamma 2.2. In the past I had downloaded gray-lab.icc and rgb-lab.icc profiles along with some paper specific .icc profiles. After I scan a negative I convert to gray-lab.icc. When I use the Photoshop print function I choose Gray-Matte-Paper.icc as my generic working profile. I understand that once I get to the point of creating paper/ink specific icc profiles that I can then use them here but for the time being they're working well with my workflow with paper-specific QTR curves. So, my question is is it preferable or desirable to use Gray Gamma 2.2 over the gray-lab.icc profile? Also, I no longer seem to be able to find the various gray and rgb-lab profiles via the website. Am I missing them somewhere else? Thank you both: Roy for a great piece of software and Amadou for helping me make sense of it.
