QTR-Quadtone RIP

You don't state which paper types, matte or glossy. Have you looked at any
existing examples of curves that come with qtr? You can do that by loading
in the qidf file in the Curve Creation window. They are in:
     C:/program files/quadtonerip/profiles/2200-ut7
Use the EEM curve as an example for a matte paper. Use Ilford Smooth Pearl
as an example of a glossy paper. The inks are used differently for the 2
types of paper.

I'm not sure what you mean by "ink use selection".

I found looking at existing curves a very useful way to get started.
