Digital BW, The Print

-Correction, I just made another print, I lightened my midtones 
because I felt the QT Rip darkened my print a little, and the bar 
lines came back even stronger, even after adding noise - Gaussian. 
The only time I never got the lines is when I boosted the "Ink Limit 
Adjustment" when printing. This made the QT Rip lay down more blank 
ink in the shadows, which worked great in my black sky, but over all 
lower contrast because it added extra black in all shadows. It 
appears the QT Rip will not print black all the way black, sort of 
when you try to lift extra detail in your shadows and you get that 
weird noise, sometimes with lines. So what is next? I am getting 
desperate
