Your post is very bizarre. You must be confusing me with someone else--I've never 
complained about IJC/OPM, nor have I ever gotten "incredibly bad results". The only 
problem I'm having is when I try QTR and get very bad results.

That's why I suggested that the

Uh... that is when I'm getting the bizarre results. Let me reitirate:

IJC/OPM works fine. I've been printing with it since the software was first released. I 
thought I would try QTR--just to see how it works. That's all. Unfortunately, with the MIS-
UT inks (which I've been using for over a year), there seems to be a problem.

Exactly. That is WHY I posted to this group... to see if anyone else is using QTR with the 
MIS-UT inks and ever saw this issue...

Thanks. When my 2400 arrives tonight, I might give QTR a try again.
