I tried another ptint this morning after converting it to the QTR Grey
Matte profile. It came out better but still lacks contrast and has
some kind of banding in the dark areas that is not there on the
Photoshop print. I haven't tried the LAB Grey workspace thoughm which
I will do next. My workspace was Adobe RGB.

Thanks agin.
