Digital BW, The Print

Test different dithers, but start with "Adaptive Hybrid." 

I think the problem has to do with characteristics of the file (amount
of ink per inch perhaps). I also think it relates to the release # of
QTR. 

I had the problem recently with 11X17. After testing the various
dithers I settled on "Adaptive Hybrid." I tried each of the dithers
and found no variation in image at all, except for stripes/no-stripes.
