QTR-Quadtone RIP

I'll second that, it's very easy. I've been playing with mixing from
all the sets for a month or so now, just in a little 1900, and it's
pretty cool. No QTR or recalibration hassles, it all just works. 50/50
sepia/neutral is indeed very pretty.
Nearly everything looks nice, because the K7 QTR curves are so smooth
and gentle, with a lot of overlap, it's pretty hard to do anything
garish...
