I'll just reiterate that you need to manipulate your file properly in the
space (converted or softproofed) that you are using to print..  If the file
is properly readied, levels control, curves to add contrast or finesse areas
of concern as has been stated, it will print very well with QTR. Gamma
controls will not add contrast.
