Hi... I think I misunderstood your first question.  I thought you wanted to know the default 
ink limits and gamma for building new curves.  For printing, the default gamma seems to 
be 1, and the ink limit is 0.  As Stephen said in the previous post, when you first start up 
QTR, those are the values you get.

There's some information in some of the QTR read-me's about what changes to the ink 
limits and gamma will do.  The gamma is pretty self-explanatory.  As for the ink-limit:  
most of the profiles were made at 1440 dpi.  If you want to print at 2880 dpi, Roy advises 
that an ink limit of -45% be applied to the 1440 dpi curve.  A few of the new curves were 
made at 2880 dpi (these have 2880 in their name) and they should print (at least for 
starters) at 0 ink limit.
