Digital BW, The Print

I notice from reading all the documentation for QTR that in a number of illustrations and instruction sets, one is advised to use QTR_BW_Matte_Paper (not sure the name is exact) profile when printing. But my installation did not include that profile. It only includes the QTR_RGB_Matte_Paper profile. Am I screwing myself up using this for B&W prints? What happened to the other profile?

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.

Thanks, Mike. That helps.
