Carl, can you be more specific as to your reference about adjustments to dot 
size weighting?   I'm printing using QTR and gimp-print.   I believe I 
installed gimp-print 4.2.5.   I see there is a recent release of gimp-print 4.3.21, 
but that it is an "unstable development release."   Should I be using the new 
4.3.21 release for better print quality at 1440x720?   Or were you referring to 
some other adjustments?   (If it matters, I am running QTR on a G3 600mhz 
iBook running OS X 10.2.6.)

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Sanders,

I'm also using gimp-print 4.2.5 and you might want to wait for Roy to  
release the version of QTR with the new dot size weighting:
