Digital BW, The Print

Thanks Keith

The usual way of linearising QTR curves is to insert the density or 
luminance figures from the 21-step into the bottom of the .qidf file. 
Are you using the icc profile as an additional check on this method or 
as a replacement for it? If the latter case could you explain why you 
think this use of icc profiles is a better way of linearising?

Thanks
Howard
