I think there is some relevant information that is appropriate for this
forum.

You may want to research the inks and software approaches before deciding.

Roy's QTR approach works only on Mac. 

For the Ultra Tone 2 (UT2) system one can use any application for some
control, but you'll want to be able to use Photoshop curves for the best
control.  If you have not already bought Photoshop, you can save a bunch of
money by purchasing Digital Light and Color's Picture Window program.
(http://www.dl-c.com/Temp/) I think it is the only non-Photoshop program
that will open those files, and I also think it is Windows only.
