QTR-Quadtone RIP

A densitometer is all that is needed to make Curves. You can also use your
densitometer to make corresponding ICC profiles (for WYSIWIG in photoshop,
for example), but these profiles will only softproof the luminosity. If you
have a spectro, I believe you can construct ICC profiles that can softproof
the toning as well. I don't have a spectro and thus haven't done that
myself.
