Digital BW, The Print

i have the same problem on my 1200 with ut-1 and qtr.
i sorta countered the problem by ramping up the ink
limit of the "yellow' ink to get max density out of
it. but i still have a little dottiness in the 35-40%
zone. in photos with a lot going on, landscapes etc, i
don't notice. but for skin tones it is noticeable and
frustrating. i thought of mixing my own in between ink
to fix this, but then i lose a nozzle slot and have a
toner issue. the lt toner is too light to cool off the
print and the dk toner has too many dots in the
highlites. so yes i have the same ut-1 problem.
