QTR-Quadtone RIP

I have the same impression. I didn\ufffdt use QTR for some weeks an now 
loaded 2.3.1. After printing some pictures - which seem to be much 
darker than before, i printed the the 21step random step wedges 3 times.
1. UCpk cool/warm 50/50,
2. no kurve and
3. for comparison directly from Photoshop without profile.
The second looks very dark from 30%, only minor tonal differences above 
30%, all steps above are dark grey to black. The first looks a bit 
better but still all tones are shifted aproximately 20-30% to dark. Only 
the reference print from Photoshop shows nearly normal  tones. As i dont 
have my  EyeOne at home, i cannot measure actually but i will do it 
tomorrow.
