Hello,
I posted this question over in the b/w group, but perhaps someone here might shed another light on my problem. I'm using an Epson 1400 with the Carbon-6 inkset developed by Paul Roark. I9;m getting some pronounced "solarization" in shadow areas. (I put that in quotes because strictly speaking solarization is a darkroom phenomenon.) I'm using the curve for Eboni-6 which is the MIS mix that came bundled with QTR. Carbon-6 is the same inkset but mixed at home. My paper is Premier Art Smooth, in the 205 g/sq meter weight.
I tried making my own curve as explained in the QTR manual.. my first attempt, so it's probably not the best. But I still got the solarization.
Any suggestions would be most welcome... I may need to elaborate more on my setup.

Paul, I've gotten that on occasion and the root cause was always either an actual empty cartridge or the printer-determined ";empty" - that is, the chip needed resetting.
Now I always top up all cartridges at one time when any of them need refilling and reset all the chips manually at the same time.
