I print other papers at 2880 dpi with great success, using QTR's 
stock profiles.  The key has been sliding the ink limiter to the 
left.  But that wasn't my question.  Let's just forget I said too 
dark and 2880 dpi.  What are some successful paper profiles people 
have used with this paper, aside from creating one from scratch?
