QTR-Quadtone RIP

I did do a nozzle check and cleaning prior to the prints being
attempted.  I again tried it last night after loading an older version
of QTR on.  Again same very contrasty results.  

it is a very frustrating experience.  The epson 4000 has no issues at
all with the default curves.
