Digital BW, The Print

Hello Jeff,

I can't say about QTR because I don't use it.  My understanding is
that with QTR and the curves you can do anything you want.  However,
your description reminded me of my observations using UT7 with
sliders, so I just wanted to pass it along as food for thought, a
possible explanation of what may be happening and a clue for your own
investigations.  

Perhaps some experienced QTR users will jump in here and shed
some more light...


Regards,
Clayton
