QTR-Quadtone RIP

I was using the profile for the 2200 and it was retty bad coming off
the 2200.  The contrast is pretty bad.  Like it forgets to add any
gray.  Shadow detail was nonexistent as well.  I was running a 2.5
version while doing the print.  I uninstalled that version and I am
plan on trying an older version of QTR to see maybe that was the issue.

I loved the print off of the 4000 (of course using the profile for the
4000).  It look almost better then what I could have done with it in a
wet darkroom.  So I am really thrilled with your product.  Just
wondering what on earth is going on with the 2200 printer.

Thanks for replying back!
