Basic question re:PFP and QTR

2006-03-08 by Roger Hein

Ok, I've read over both Keith's info and other posts on the 'groups'.  I've managed to create 
'softproofs' for QTR - very neat!  Now I'd like to try and create an actual icc profile for the 
printer.

If I'm reading things correctly one basically:

a) prints out the 21-step gray scale

b) take LAB readings of the printed gray scale

c) 'drag-n-drop' a tab delimited txt file to the 'Create-QTR-ICC' applet and use the resulting 
icc file?

Ok, a 'dumb' question - for the intial 21-step gray scale printout what 'settings' should be 
used in PS and the print driver.  I assume set PS to Gray 2.2 and No Color Correction.  My 
confusion is what to use for the printer settings.  Should then be set to use the 'default' 
settings for the paper in use (ie. on the 2200 EEM paper, auto colour, etc) or?
