sorry, but what's QTR?

QTR= Quadtone RIP see http://www.quadtonerip.com/html/QTRoverview.html

A RIP is a Raster Image Processor - a substitute for a printer driver which provides more options and generally does a better job at printing.

Commerical RIPs can cost as much as some printers - but they let you batch jobs and control sizes, as well as provide better control over tone and quality.
