I couldn't figure out at what stage you were or what printer + 
inkset you are using. I guess now that you printed the curve 
creation target and you now have to configure the curves. But 
that may not be needed at all if you are using a known printer 
+ inkset + paper combination then it is more likely that there 
are already curves available and you can just build your 
custom linearisation on that + make a profile that suits that 
combination better than the generic ones. The linearisation 
and profiling targets are greyscales (but will be cooler or 
warmer depending on the toners used). Check the Quadtone 
program directory > Eye-One map and you will find more 
information there.
