QTR is a piece of software that helps you print a B&W inkjet print and gives 
you total control over inks, densities, etc. It is also used to print inkjet 
negatives on transparency materials for alt and silver printing, precisely 
because it gives you control over how the ink gets laid down on the 
negative.

PDN is a system for creating a curve for any process AND outputting the 
resulting negative on a substrate. PDN is a complete system for making 
digital negs while QTR is just a tool for output.

I think that's a decent nutshell version, not complete, but nutshell...

But inkjet laser? It's either an inkjet print or its a laser print. They're 
not the same...

Jim (a facebook friend) just answered my question about whether he had tried
QTR or PDN for Pt/Pd or gum printing by saying he thought it was only used
by those who did ink jet laser printing.  I never thought of that.  Could it
work?  I am working on Pt/Pd and next week my wife, Rene, and I will be
spending our time in MT with Chris, learning how to do tricolor gum.

If my memory is correct, the advice I received about this is to use double
containers, to minimize air pressure exchanges (they may bring in moisture),
that do happen even with what one thinks are air-tight bags.
