Digital BW, The Print

If you can use normal Photoshop image adjustment curves on your copy or
Elements, then you can use the PS curve instead of the curves layer to have
QTR make a print that a matches a calibrated monitor better.  This assumes
you are editing the image in Gray Gamma 2.2 workspace.  The curve, which is
in many of my Profiles Zip files is also at
http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/Gray
Gamma 2.2 to QTR curve.zip

Being a curve, you can modify it as needed to achieve the look you like or
match your monitor better.

Be sure you don't edit the image in Gray Gamma 2.2 after the curve is
applied.  It is for printing with QTR only.  I generally save my final 16
bit grayscale Tiff image file and then apply the curve and save that
version to my Desktop with "QTR" in the name so that I know the image is
for printing only.  I recycle that file after printing.

Hope this helps.
