Digital BW, The Print

This is retitled from another thread.

I have noticed this in trying to get UT7 inks to print properly with 
QTR on a 2200 and 7600. I thought that the problem was my 
linearization, not the device.

I had good experience on the 7600 reducing the ink limits and not using 
the BOOST function, but I still have problems with the zone between 
95-100% just going totally dense black. Very ugly transition.

Has anyone else experienced this or have any solutions?
