QTR-Quadtone RIP

The best way is to just try things.  Change 1 variable at a time and 
see what happens.  Rather than just reading the tutorials, try doing 
things step by step following the tutorial.  Then when you have 
problems, you can come back here with more specific questions that 
will be easier for us to answer.

To start, try uisng a paper / ink combination that is already 
profiled.  I have found that existing profiles are usually pretty 
good and you can get by without relinearizing, etc. Different dithers 
make small changes so don't worry to much about them to start with. 
Just make prints and play with the curve blendings to begin to enjoy 
the possibilities.  Then as you find things that aren't quite right 
or you want to use papers that aren't profiled, you can start 
learning about additional features.
