Which ones?  I have been using Photo Rag, Concorde Rag and 
EAM on which it happens on all three.  I was thinking that it was 
happening due to the increased black density of the new ink and 
the clipping we are seeing is the dither pattern of the black ink.  
This combined with midtone ink not being able to print dark 
enough.  I hope that new profiles could fix this.

Do you know if this issue has been brought up to Cone & Co.?   
Is it something they are working on?  Perhaps if we can get 
enough people to raise this issue to him, he could fix it.  

I hate to say it but the prints with the new ink are unacceptable.  
They look like they have been created digitally.  What to do now?  
Well at least I know that it's not just me; I guess it's time to call 
inkjetmall.
