well I wasn't planning on trying them but the innova sampler had the 
fibaprint example in there and there is a profile so I went ahead 
and tried.
Here's a screen shot of the quad files for the 2200-K7

Carl, your qtr doesn't have the innova photofibap profile?

I have been following that on the piezo board and I was one that 
hadn't seen that bleed until I ordered a new batch. BUT now on the

BTW Tyler, I just bought the BW special issue and was flipping 
through stopping on some that I liked. Well I stopped on one and 
looked down and saw your name. I kind of smiled that it struck me 
above some of the others. Congrats.
