Digital BW, The Print

I can understand why one might think that, and it's a perfectly 
reasonable assumption to make. In this case I was very careful about 
following the instructions, although I'll check it again.

The reason I'm not sure about the ink is that the last print I did 
was on EEM, and I'm pretty sure I had the matte ink in, although it 
was a throw-away print so I wasn't concerned about the colour balance 
or d-max, so it is possible I left the photo black in. The problem 
print didn't warn me that the wrong ink was loaded so it's likely I 
had the right ink (it doesn't help that for various reasons my 
printer is down a flight of stairs in another room).

The interesting thing is I had exactly the same problem with Ilford 
lustre finish paper. I haven't tried the Epson lustre finish, but 
I've never had a problem with either glossy or matte (and that 
includes experimenting with non-inkjet watercolour paper and rice 
paper). So far I've been consistently (okay, 2 times) having problems 
with the lustre/semi-gloss papers.

I'll take your suggestion to carefully check the settings and look 
into the other suggestion (I wasn't aware that QTR was available for 
Windows now).

Thanks

Colin
