Digital BW, The Print

I saw a similar banding when using the QTR 2200 profiles on my 9600 -- the cause 
was over inking in the midtones (the 9600 drops down more ink than the 2200). Not 
sure how this might be happening with your 2200 setup. With the QTR 2200 profiles 
my 2200 prints look spot on.

Still trying to get the 9600 to duplicate the quality of the 2200!!
