Re: QTR 2.1 on os X 10.3 problems with 2200

I'm assuming you have the Epson UltraChrome inks in the printer.
Are you using the profiles that start with "UC" -- they are the UltraChrome
profiles, the ones starting with "UT" or "UT7" are for the MIS UtraTone inks
which are very different.   If you did end loading the UT profiles instead
of UC's they are in the download under Profiles/2200-UC.
