(hope it's ok to double post - I put this up over Digital B &; W Printin as well. I got to thinking since this involves QTR that maybe Roy might have some ideas.)
I'm using a 1400, the Eb6 inkset, and Premier Art Smooth 205 paper, and am going to try making a curve. I know Paul already has one in the QTR zip file, but I want to learn more about the process and will save it with a different name.
The upper five or six blocks in the yellow strip of the Calibration print are quite mottled, but they did get better after an hour or two. After I did a head cleaning and nozzle check, which turned out perfectly, I printed out another Calibration print and the yellow strip was a little better but still mottled. For both prints, every block below those upper six in the yellow strip were fine, as were the strips for the other color positions.
All carts have ink, but the yellow cart is a bit low.
Any tips would be welcome... thank you!
Paul

Are you limiting the ink for these cartridges (or overall)? My recollection from when I did a characterization was that I had to go to ~30% ink limit to avoid oversaturating the paper (one of the nice Canson matte papers).
