QTR-Quadtone RIP

You might try using a paper for which there's a profile.

Subject: [QuadtoneRIP] Initial QTR results very poor-help needed...


I'm using QTR on a PC running XP. Files saved as greyscale tiffs as
instructed and dragged to the print window. The results are terrible. Black
and white photographs are printing very, very dark-wasting lots of ink
(Eboni matt black and UT colour cartridges) in the process. I'm printing on
Permajet Museum Classic for which there doesn't appear to be a profile so
I've used the EEM profile (and tried one or two others as well with the
same results).

Can anyone say what might be going wrong here? Using the limit and
gamma adjustment tools help a little but prints are still far too dark. 
Other
than sending a very light file to QTR, is there a solution?

Thanks,
Bruce
