Unable to print using Epson 7600 with UT-7 ink

2012-01-27 by dwight_talley

I am new to QuadtoneRIP and have tried to read the tutorial but its menu does not match the current version. I am running what I think I installed which is 2.7.2 but it states 2.7 at the top of the screen.
Using Windows 7 on a quad computer and a print server attached to the printer. 

Print outs are all very dark, so dark you can just see detail in bright light.  Mostly a black page in other words.  If I print using another program, perfect printout. So I am thinking there is a setting I have not gotten right.

Printer is set for Quad7600 K7, which I think is the settings for the UT-7 black inks.
Printing model is Quad7600-K7

Resolution is set to 1400 but I have trid 2880 with no change.

Curve setup has limited choices so I chose K7-2880 Epson Enhanced Matte, which is the paper I am using.  No clue what the 2880 means but setting and printing at 2880 does not make a difference. 

That is all I have done.  Printing from here gives me a black page with detail in the dark print.  

As a side note, the image is adjusted to fit the 24 inch wide page, but the printout does not scale down and cuts off about 5 to six inches of width of the image.

So, there it is, the printout is very dark and I have not been able to fix it even though printing in another program works perfectly.

Thanks
Dwight
