QTR-Quadtone RIP

Roy,
Thanks. Let me be sure I understand. QTR has some built in paper curves (i.e. EEnhMatte, HPhotorag, etc). Are the two gray.icc to be used instead of these paper curves? Or are they separate? By separate I mean convert to gray.icc in Photoshop then print with QTR using a paper curve?

And what do you mean by grayscale color management problems?


Thanks

Frank
