Digital BW, The Print

Keith,

You have a lot of unknowns so it's pretty hard to tell what's wrong.
I'm not familiar with the Permajet inks but QTR does have profiles for UT2
inks on the 1280/1290.   
First, I'd make sure your printer is printing all the inks -- nozzle checks.
Then try out QTR with some of the profiles.

If it's still not to your liking you need to be more explicit about the problem.
