QTR-Quadtone RIP

We are doing the split-tone over seven shades of ink rather than 3
shades of one tone and 3 shades another.

The split is caused by the inks which vary in tone as the densities
(or dilutions) of the inks move from black to the lightest gray. For
example shades 2,3,4 are Sepia and shades 5,6,7 are Neutral. Black is
shade 1.

The same curves in QTR will work with Neutral, Sepia, or SplitTone. So
the slider would not work as we are not mixing inks in the traditional
way that toning inks are used.

Hope that makes sense...
