QTR-Quadtone RIP

Im using the NK6 in two 7000 printers. My damx on Photorag is 1.68-.69
 and 1.67 on Museum Etching and William Turner. That is with both the
neutral and the sepia inkset. In comparision, Ultrachrome K2 (with the
same MK as K3 inkset) is measuring 1.65 out of QTR driven 9600. My 10K
is loaded with the NK6 now and is about to be set up with Studio Print
because QTR is not working on it. But the 10K just printing the
Neutral inks of out an RGB profiled workflow measures 1.66 (which is
not good enough for me). When it is linearized with a rip and black
point partitioned, it will do better, hopefully equaling the 7000s.
