QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hello all,

I am just now testing out the Quadtone RIP and am really a bit lost. 
Perhaps someone can put me in the right direction? The manual refers 
to using a densitometer to do the readings. I have printed out the 
targets (both look identical to me, not sure why they printed two on 
my roll paper, wasting a huge amount of paper... but that is my 
fault, I think). Now that I have these targets printed, what would be 
my next step to linearise/create new profile specifically for my 
printer/paper combo? I have the Eye One with Profilemaker Pro 
(including the measure tool).

Also, I read on the Qimage list how people use these two programs 
together, printing to a file from Qimage and printing with QTR, but 
also read recently that a poster did not notice any difference in 
upresing in and printing from Qimage to a file and through QTR than 
just printing direct through QTR. What would be the benefits?

Many thanks for any help,

Ellie
