Thanks for the response Paul. I am not sure about the compatability 
of k7 and glossy type papers, but there are profiles in qtr so I 
went ahead and tried.
What you say makes sense to me, but this issue happens with 
different profiles and different papers. So either QTR is 
mismanaging something (I don't see how) or my printer is throwing 
down too much ink in one or more positions. When I was using UC inks 
I never noticed this problem. I mostly have used my 2200 for b/w and 
stuff (and not that much truth be told) and only occasionally for 
color.  The profiles I used with UC never utilized the M and C inks 
so I wonder if those two printheads (or whatever) aren't performing 
well. OF course the nozzle check looks just fine but I wonder if 
there is something else I should do because those two ink shades 
cover a large portion of the profiles.
So I guess the question is how do I know my inks are putting down 
what they should even if my nozzle checks look fine?
Thanks
Scott
