QTR-Quadtone RIP

Thanks for all the info. I never had good results from EZColor. I am
now driving a DTP41 with Fuji Colourkit and getting good profiles. 
I can recommend Monaco Optix XR Pro for monitor calibration. I used to
use an older version of the Spyder, but the new Optix provides
superior calibration.
