It was a suggestion for several other ink configurations that 
can be used with QTR.

It is to be expected that typical quad ink sets will be 
replaced by the new N-color printers that could use the split 
tone slider in QTR. Similar sliders are already in the OEM 
drivers of the new models so it may not be needed in QTR for 
the new models. Much depends on the underlying structure of 
the OEM drivers.
