QTR-Quadtone RIP

Jeff - 

Thanks for the help, but I think I stumbled onto the problem.  This morning I removed the Epson colored ink and put the Niagra CIS back in to make another round of prints for you and Roy Harrington (I also received an email from him).  The print that I've been speaking of, that was coming out all muddy, printed just fine.  I could scan and send it to you, if you like, but it is a dramatic difference.  All I did was remove the epson inks and replace them with the CIS.  

One of the problems I've been having with Vista is that the software that monitors the Epson cartridge ink levels won't work under Vista.  Anyway, I am wondering if by putting Epson cartridges back in, it reset the chip status of the ink cartridges, which was affecting the print out.  I've read a couple of posts about buying a chip resetter, so I wonder if this has been the problem, because I certainly have run enough ink through the system for it to think that some cartridges were empty -- if that is the problem.

What do you think?

Thanks for the help.

  If the QTR profile worked fine initially as you indicated and now does 
  not work it is very likely not the profile or QTR's problem unless 
  something changed the profile (.quad file) or some setting in QTR is 
  different. Did anything in your setup or workflow change? Have you 
  cleaned the underside of the print head and run one or two head 
  cleaning cycles? Is the parking pad relatively clean?

  Also FYI, the three R1800-uc editable profiles (black, sepia, and cool) 
  included in the QTR installation only use the mK ink for black or mK 
  and Y&R for sepia or mK and M&C for cool. The pK ink is not used. I 
  haven't tried to profile my R1800 with the uc inkset using both 
  blacks. The pK will be a little less dense and thus offer a little 
  more smoothness in the mid and highlights. I use Paul Roark's 4K+Ccm 
  inkset
