QTR-Quadtone RIP

I wonder if anyone could help me with what may be a very simple 
Problem:  I am having installing the ICC profiles for the FA Pearl and 
the Museo Silver Rag into QTR...I am running Windows XP.  thanks for 
any help, Lee

QTR does not use ICC profiles directly. For printing it uses Curve
files that have a .quad or .qidf file name extension.

Exactly how are you trying to use ICC profiles with QTR?

Are there curves available for Silver Rag?  I'd also be interested in
curves for other papers, if there are sites to look for these.

I have created some icc profiles with QTR-Create_ICC.app using readings of my final print 
out of the 21-step wedge after linearization using no color management for my warm and 
cool curves; I also plan on doing some others for varying degrees in between my cool and 
warm.  I have seen the immediate benefit of these icc profiles for soft proofing.

As far as using them for printing I have some questions.  First when using these icc 
profiles for printing, I'm assuming that you use them with the Epson driver or other RIPs 
for the printer you are using; is my assumption correct?  Second, can you use them when 
printing through QTR, and if so, do you use them in conjunction with the same curve 
settings as was used to create the icc profile???  And if you can print with the icc profiles 
through QTR what are the advantages of doing so???

Another question I have is about the other ICC application with QTR, QTR-Create_ICC-
RGB.app.  Ii is my understanding that this application is for creating icc profiles with ACV 
curve adjustments to adjust the tone.  I'm not sure what the advantages of doing so; so if 
someone could explain I would appreciate this.  I'm also assuming that this is also only for 
when using full color inksets and not for use with gray scale inksets.  I'm guessing the 
advantage is when using full color inksets is that you would be able achieve any tone 
desirable and the tones should match a calibrated monitor.  

Thanks in advance for your comments,
Randy

The statement "Here are three new ICC profiles--gray-lab.icc  gray-matte.icc and gray-photo.icc " appears in the first line of the gray-readme.rtf document located in the CurveDesign folder. Since there is no link to these profiles in the rtf document, can you please tell or point me to where these files are located or how to find them.




Kind regards,
