Digital BW, The Print

Thanks for all the responses. I'm still not sure what
the problem is. I tried reloading the cartridge to no
avail. I also printed from photoshop using Paul
Roark's curves and from QTR, both giving me the same
problem.

I contacted MIS and they claim to not have had any
problems recently but they did recommend doing a swab
test.

Thanks again!

Rob
