QTR-Quadtone RIP

I guess whatever works for you is best.

Let me make a few comments on this, however.

First, many of the newer Photoshop and OS combinations will not allow ICCs
to be used with Color Controls or ABW.  They see that as combining two
profiles.  (It's too bad they have "dumbed down" the systems.)

Second, using ABW with Eboni-6 does not make very efficient use of the
inks.  I would think the LK and LLK inks are being use relatively more than
the others.  But, again, if it works for you, use it.
