Roy, All (helpful people)

Frankly I don't understand a thing about the new ICC-RVB. I read the 
rtf file in the download and it's Japanese to me.

First is this meant to print from PS straight to the Epson driver 
without launching QTR (eventually advantageous for me since I run XP)?

I don't use PS curves in my workflow so this is all new. Is the idea 
to try to partition ink with the PS curves (we're talking of the RVB 
curves)?  If so how do you manage that ?

I also don't understand a thing about the need of the psd.raw file.

Sorry for sounding so stupid, but I'd appreciate help since I feel 
I'm missing an opportunity.

If there're been threads about it please redirect me.
