QTR-Quadtone RIP

Here are the possible options I know of:

	BabelColor PatchTool (PatchReader tool)
		pros: patch reading, and lots of other useful color-related stuff
		cons: expensive at $125
		http://www.babelcolor.com/

	X-Rite ColorPort
		pros: free
		cons: requires generation of target (grid); might be hard to integrate with QTR workflow
		info: http://www.xrite.com/colorport-utility-software
		download: http://www.xrite.com/product_overview.aspx?ID=719&Action=support&SoftwareID=1168

	Argyll CMS (spotread tool)
		pros: free
		cons: command-line only, with the usual obtuseness
		http://www.argyllcms.com/

Argyll has some real potential. I played around with it last year to see if I could get it to generate & read targets for QTR, but got busy with other things.

Which spectro device do you have?

There are some GUIs available for some of Argyll's capabilities, depending on what you want to do. Have a look at <http://www.jpereira.net/roughprofiler> and <http://dispcalgui.hoech.net/>

They don't offer access to all of Argyll's functionality, but it might be of help...

kind regards
