QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hi - Michael had shared this with me also. I'm not sure that it was the
whole story.  Tracing things back + taking into account other accounts
kindly offered the critical issues for me seem to have been:
 
1/    Turn the printer off and re-connect (this seems to have been critical
- I usually leave my printer on so that it runs an occassional auto-head
clean - I suffer fewer blockages this way)
2/    convert to 8 bit if the source RAW is in 16.
 
re Interleaving, I was using the Photoshop defaults, so I don't think this
is the issue.  Whatever - QTR is now giving me the most neutral, subtly
graded B&W prints I've ever had, so I'm a happy bunny.
 
Many thanks to the community for being so generous with advice.
 
Best
 
Chris

Allen - 

I had this same problem on my Epson R1800. Probably worse - I could only get
about 1/2 of a page, the other half solid black with horrible banding
separating right and left side. I found out that when Photoshop saves a file
in tiff, you can choose an option to either interleave the channels, or save
them in 'per channel format'. While I don't really understand the difference
-- photoshop says RGBRGBRGB vs RRRGGGBBB -- when I switched the save option
to interleave the printing problem went away. 

I hope that helps.

Allan,

I had this problem and some similar in my 1290 (=1280 in Europe)like 

printing in some parts of the print very fine lines wider than the 

image, all were solved whe conecting the printer to another computer (a 

laptop)and turning again to the first compuer...
