Hi -

I'm using a P4 w/2GB ram.  The default settings are: printing model: 
quad 4800, ink limit 0, gamma adj. 0, resolution - 1440 super, speed -
 faster, dither algorithm - ordered, premium luster photo paper, PK 
black ink, etc.

I have tried adj. the ink limit and gamma adj. sliders; the prints 
look identical to the original.

As I said, I tried the same file on my 2200 with matte paper and MK 
ink; got almost identical results to the 4800's output.

Being new to QTR as of this morning, I'll ask what I hope isn't a 
stupid question:  QTR is designed to work with the normal K3 inks in 
the 4800, right?  I don't have to be using a K7 ink set, am I?
