John,
Thanks for taking the time to help.
1.  Yes I am comparing them to other Piezo images printed on the same
paper.
2.  It seems smokey in the dark areas only.
3.  I am using the 2880 dpi setting that the profile calls for.
4.  I did triple check the cartridges and they are in their respective
slots.  
5   But you last idea of printing a gradient gave me bizzare results.
 It printed all black with no gradient.
