QTR-Quadtone RIP

Andre,

I use a 21 step grayscale for linearizing, which gives me 21 L* or 
density readings.  I just copy those from the output file that Create-
ICC generates, then open the Linearization window, and use the paste 
button in QTR, below the boxes.  You don't need to fill all 60.  

There is a line at the bottom of the output file with all the density 
or L* readings in sorted order.  I don't copy the entire output file, 
just that one final line of data.  

Should work.

Lou
