QTR-Quadtone RIP

Same here, installed the K7 inkset on a 9600 three days ago. Quite
dissapointing image dynamics and dmax. It all looks rather flat and
liveless when compared to an ABW print of the same image, although
resolution and smoothness are outstanding under a loupe. Immediately
after printing i get a 1.38, six hours later the same print measures
at 1.52 with a Techcon RT-112 on PhotoRag Bright White. About the same
on Innova Smooth Cotton. For comparison i have here a K7 promo sample
printed on Smooth Cotton by IJM/Cone that measures at 1.64 has great
dynamics and looks like it's a completely different inkset.
Lately i have heard some people complaining on the lists about flat K7
print results. Have there been any manufacturing issues with the
Neutral K7?
