Thanks.  This is consistent with what I have been doing thus far.

Subject: Re: [Digital BW] QTR printing lighter than on screen...

With the Epson driver, I use the 1440 dpi-Photo resolution setting
(high speed off) for color printing and don't see any significant
improvement using 2880 dpi when printing on matte papers.  If you print
on glossy, RC papers you might get slightly higher definition of fine
detail with 2880.  QTR and the 2200 profiles are calibrated for
1440x720HQ and I don't recommend using other resolutions.
