QTR-Quadtone RIP

Thanks Steve, this is starting to make more sense to me now.

I have been using Daniel Staver's curves for HPR, Entrada and EEM for 
my UT-7 inkset so I certainly have a starting point. I still don't 
see what the use of Photoshop is in all of this. As I see it (and 
hopefully I am getting it right this time), the process seems to be:

1. Rename an existing profile and delete existing linearize data as a 
starting point.
2. Print one of the tiffs in the QTR release Eye One folder (most 
recommend the 21 random stepwedge) using QTR with all settings as you 
want them and use the renamed profile from step 1.
3. Let it dry and then measure with the Eye One while running the 
Measure subroutine of ProfileMaker
4. Use the resulting textfile out of ProfileMaker in Linearize-
data.exe and copy/paste output linearize data back into renamed curve 
under the linearize data tab.

I'll give that a go...is there any place on the net that gives all of 
this a thorough going over? I'd love to do my best to make the best 
curves I can for my setup but have the feeling I'll not be making 
full use of the various options etc.
