QTR-Quadtone RIP

Would 16-bit be enough for black&white or would 48-bit be better (while using sRGB).

I work with Gimp, thus with 8-bit B&W files, but I scan my films
(with Vuescan) with 16bit. 

If you print with QTR, using RGB is
useless!

RGB48 is the same as BW16. It's just the same 16 bit data on all 3 channels
and 16 + 16 + 16 = 48.
