just print the target, use the measure tool of PFP, check the box "QTR
Format Ovewrite" and read the patches. Once you finished reading the
patches just drag and drop the txt file over the file named
"QTR-Create-ICC.exe" under 

program files/quadtoneRIP/eye-one/QTR-Create-ICC.exe

after a second the icc profile will appear in the same directory the
txt was saved. You'll have to take this file and move it under the icc
folder. Then lunch PS, print with preview, select Let PS determine
colors, select the qtr profile, select perceptual and black point
compensation. DOn't forget to transfor the rgb file into a greyscale
one before sending data to the printer where you should set the same
setting you used to print the target (so, for example, if you printed
the target using the ABW mode you should set ABW mode in the printer).
