QTR-Quadtone RIP

QTR Group,

I need your help please.  I have read ALL QTR documentation, including duplicate info for 
addressing Mac OSX, and have a "general workflow confusion".  I understand all of the 
details but the general workflow order of procedure seems to not be clear to me.  My set-
up is as follows:

PowerMac G5 Quad 2.5GHz (OSX Tiger) 
Sony Artisan GDM-C520K (Self Calibrating) Monitor 
Epson R2400 Printer 
Epson 4990 Scanner (Soon an Imacon) 
Photoshop CS2 
Gretag Macbeth Eye-One System 


Is "Curve Creation" the same as "Calibration"? It seems as if going through the "Ink Limits" 
process IS the "Calibration Process" wrapped within the "Curve Creation Process". Is this all 
the same? Should the first thing one does in setting up QTR be to go through the "Ink 
Limits" and "Partitioning" Processes? Do you simply print a chart from Photoshop using 
QTR without a curve? 

THIS IS PART OF THE CONFUSION:

The "QTR Mini Tutorial for Mac OSX" goes through the Ink Limits, Partitioning, and 
Linearization by using Text Edit and CurveDropBox, HOWEVER, there is a document called 
"Eye-One Spectrophotometer with QTR 2.3" that goes through some kind of Calibration/
Linearization/Profiling Process using MeasureTool from Gretag Macbeth. ARE THESE TWO 
DOCUMENTS DOING THE SAME THING? The Eye-One document does not talk about Ink 
Limit or Partitioning so I don't know if I need to do this separately first (manually with Text 
Edit) or if the Eye-One does this automatically. 

Does using the Eye-One with MeasureTool TAKE THE PLACE of going through the process 
explained in using Text Edit to create Ink Limits, Partitions, and Linearizations?? And 
where should the final PROFILE be created.. with MeasureTool & Eye-One??

Sorry for this seemingly ridiculous inquiry but with all I have read I can't seem to pin down 
a logical order (using Mac OSX & Eye-One) to set-up QTR in respect to calibration, curve 
creation & Profiling.  Everything is installed correctly…

PLEASE HELP, I would greatly appreciate any feedback…

Regard,

Cody Thomas
