QTR-Quadtone RIP

To answer my own question after further tests, I found that working 
on 1280 wide margins seem to solve the problem. With at least a half 
inch margin (at least on letter size paper) there is no scraping or 
thin lines on the print. With that success I went back to 
unidirectional printing with no problem.
