Re: [Digital BW] QTR .icc's

The QTR_BW_Matte_Paper profile was the original version supplied, but 
caused problems with some print programs that only understood RGB 
profiles (eg Qimage). The RGB profiles are essentially the same data, 
but duplicated over the R G and B channels, and are acceptable to all 
print programs. You can use the RGB profiles instead - the only 
difference (as far as I know) is the data format.
