Digital BW, The Print

Richard

The QTR distribution (2.3.1) has curves for UC/HPR. The default ink limit
(which is typically derived from the max ink limit determined when printing
the ink separation) is 50. The Black Boost raises the limit to 55-60.

If you're using QTR 2.3.1 you might want to look at the included UC/HPR
curve as a guide.
