hi paul
i use a 1200, QTR and UT.
my readings will vary but the lowest reading i have
gotten is 1.64 the highest 1.72. i have noticed this
paper really needs time to "cure" to get a stable
reading. after 24 hours i have read 1.72 then days
later i will get 1.68 where it usually stays. i have a
few printouts where i get 1.66 or 1.64, i have been
jumping through some hoops trying to perfect my QTR
profile for this paper and so i have done lots and
lots of readings and it seems 1.68 is where i end up
most of the time.
