QTR-Quadtone RIP

I have tried the approach Steve described and believe it has merit for those
who like to tinker.
I use it slightly differently however; I limit some of the grays well below
their ink limit to move the location of the transitions.  This was helpful
for utilizing more of the light FS-Y in UT7 curves, which reduces the darker
dots in the highlights.  I'm still playing, experimenting with different
approaches, and so on.

Best regards,
John Moody

Subject: RE: [QuadtoneRIP] Characterizing the Ink / Paper combination
(Overall Ink Limit)

There was some discussion of this in the past few months. I'm not sure if it
was on this list or the BW printing list. The most active participant was
Steve Kale. The essence of it was to print several inkseparation pages each
limited for the particular grey or toner ink in question. The goal was to
use each ink (grey or toner) to its fullest in order to minimize dots in the
transitions. I don't recall the procedure in detail and don't do it myself.
I also have not seen any comments on the results of this approach.
