Hello Roy,

thank you very much for your answer. I have experimented quite a bit
on uncoated fine art papers. Your solution, unfortunately, get the paper
more wet and, hence, the dot gain gets even worse.
The real trick is to let (between head printer passes) the ink dry before
adding more ink.
As I mentioned, the epson driver (R2440 and Pro4800 for example) let
you do that. I hope you could included this facility in your beautiful QTR.

Thanks,

Daniela

Hi Daniela,

I don't get many requests to make it slower :)

What I'd try first is use all the options that make the printer make more
passes -- therefore feeds slower. Use 2880 dpi, "better" (that's unidirectional).
I'm not sure what printer and profiles you are using but you may need to
adj ink limits for the 2880dpi.
