QTR-Quadtone RIP

One possible reason is that default settings in Qimage Ultimate do 
sharpen the image before printing (and resize the image to its guess at 
the optimum ppi for the printer). Try printing to file from Qimage 
Ultimate at 240 or 360 ppi for the final print size, and then printing 
that image using QTR. That's what I do (on Windows 7) with no complaints.
