I and many others have had great results from this printer for both b&w and color (with the 
MIS PRO inks. (I also print on a 9600, so I can compare results.)

Tom,

After some more testing, I determined that the abrubt transition was due to using "high 
speed" instead of best quality.  I was under the impression, from one article I read, that HS 
wasn't that much different than BQ.  But it certainly seems so, because when I printed that 
same file with BQ the transition was buttery smooth.

I have tried using Paul's ICC profile without any other settings.  But are you suggesting that I 
use the QTR software to make my own profile?  I haven't ventured into that territory yet, since 
I'm just getting started with all of this, but if it makes a big difference I'll give it a try.

Thanks for your help,
Chris
