Digital BW, The Print

Yes - I can see that by combining the left and right curves I should 
have plenty to keep me busy for some time.  And it is beautifully 
simple!  A question about resolutin settings.  When I use the 1440 or 
1440 super settings, all is fine.  If I try 2880 dpi I get an error 
message saying that QTR has encountered a problem and needs to shut 
down.  Is there a way to print with 2880 dpi?  Is it dependent on the 
file size of the photo printing?  One other question: before I 
learned that I would be able to use QTR I ordered a set of refillable 
carts and black inks from MIS for the 2200.  Is there any point in 
using these inks with QTR or is that defeating the purpose of the 
program?  If so, I guess I could purchase MIS colored inks and at 
least save money by refilling rather than replacing. . .Thanks again 
for enabling me to use this wonderful program!  Edward  --- In
