QTR-Quadtone RIP

I started to play with doing it in Studio Print but was not getting  
gray tones, there was always a color cast. I think the whole  
procedure for making the profile is too heady. I have much else to do  
in a day, like print, then spend hours getting it to work. This is  
why I thought QTR would have all the work done. You asked, "also what  
is the score with Bauhaus", what's that?
