QTR-Quadtone RIP

Why not just export from Lightroom 4 and print using QTR.  I have only used lightroom 4 but from what I hear, the upgrades in the raw processing alone would be worth it.

And I'm not willing to switch to Mac to effect this (not that that's what you're in any way suggesting I do).  So, I guess I'll just continue using my Lightroom 3.6, as I don't want to give up the ease and success I've had all these years with QTR.  Many thanks, anyway.

You could come up with your preferred method or printing and then make a QTR icc to fine tune it and soft proof.  Be sure to use ICCRGB for lightroom.

To try out some of the possible advantages of printing options now available in Lightroom 4, I would like to be able to convert my preferred QTR curve to an ICC format that LR 4 would recognize for printing purposes. How could I do this, without starting entirely from scratch?  Any advice would be appreciated.
