QTR-Quadtone RIP

John,
I thought I knew at least a little something about monochrome
printing, but appearently not. At least not where the K7 inks are
concerned. Others have raved about them, but at this point, I'm a bit
disappointed. I'll grant you they are wonderfully smooth, and totally
dotless, at least to my eyes under 2x magnification, but for me, the
translation from monitor to paper appears really flat. The Dmax looks
disappointly low but I don't have a densitometer, so it's all
emperical at this point.

BUT, others have written glowing reports. And that's what led me to
this group. I'm hoping that I can figure out what is causing me to get
results that I'm getting.

At the moment, I'm getting much better results using the latest
version of QTR with my R2400 and the K3 inks.

Charlie
