QTR has always used 16-bit internally.

The 16-bit thru the OS is the added part and also the least important
part.   The printer
manufacturers -- Epson & Canon -- have made a big deal of this but in
reality its
not as big a deal as you might think.  (looks good in the marketing
brochures and
makes for a good check box item).

QTR curves are the same as before.
