QTR-Quadtone RIP

I'd purchased this quite a while ago, found a combination I was pleased with, but never wrote it down. After a big problem I'd had recently due to Nikon's decision to drop support for the Mac's OS and Nikon Scan at a certain point, I desperately fumbled around with too many things, and mistakenly uninstalled the RIP.

They don't look too far off, but I wondered if there might be a shortcut to multiple trial and error experiments until I happen upon something I really like? Does anyone have a favorite combination they might suggest? Also, do you generally find 3 curves best, or two?
