Re: Photos never dry after printing through QuadtoneRIP

2012-02-04 by CherylS

Ok, I printed the ink pattern page - print using calibration mode on 8x10 photo paper.  Ink 1 - Black is the fragile ink, but Ink 7 - Light Black is not.  How do I get QTR to use only Ink 7?  Do I have to pull out the matte black cartridge??
