One write-up of how I use or recommend people start with QTR starts at page 11 of http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/Eboni-4-Plus.pdf . I think the approach would apply to most inksets. I rarely use the tabs to control the inks aside from the linearization tab. Usually, the default QTR partitioning curve plus linearization is all that is needed. Determining the individual ink limits and densities are the key inputs that you'll need to determine. Even there, QTR seems relatively tolerant of variation. I do tend to use a black ink limit that is slightly less than where the dmax was -- using the Black Boost for the end of the black curve. But this is not necessary either. I'd recommend you start simple. Paul www.PaulRoark.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
