Digital BW, The Print

I am trying to set up QuadToneRip 2.0, and have several questions.

1.  Which version of Gimp-Print do I need to use, and if I need to use
4.3.5, how do I install that? (I now have 4.2.5 installed, which worked w/
QuadToneRip v1.1)

In creating the curves, I have printed out the initial ink load page, and
verified that approx. 50% ink load is right for my 7000.

Now I'm not sure what to do- when I apply the ink-limits, and then re-print
the Ink Pattern Page, I get strange density bars that start light, get dark,
then lighter again- not at all what Roy shows on his calibration instruction
page.  Can anyone flesh out Roys instructions on what to do after the
initial ink load limits have been established?

TIA
