QTR-Quadtone RIP

Ferdinand

If you're asking about 'numerical' characteristics, inks in the Cone 
curves overlap a lot more than in the QTR generated ones. The 
auto-generation method that QTR uses means that you cannot have more 
than three inks overlapping at once. With a quadtone this works fine but 
when there are 7 inks this method is limiting.

You should be the judge as to whether you prefer the end results.

If you are looking for a way to make Cone-style curves with QTR I posted 
details of a method here:

You could also use the point list table available in qtr instead of the 
.acv files to generate similar curves.
