QTR-Quadtone RIP

It's a bit hard to tell onscreen but it does appear that there is
spatter occurring. I would try cleaning the underside of the LK head
using the techniques listed in the wide format groups archives and
putting windex w/ ammonia d on it's cap station and leaving it set
awhile before a couple of cleaning cycles, to see if that helps. It
takes very little jet deflection to create problems like what you seem
to have. It could be nothing more than ink buildup under the head.

Regards
Duane
