QTR-Quadtone RIP

I have had the same issue for many months with my
2200.  I profile my monitor monthly and prints look
fine on screen.  But after printing, it looks like the
contrast has been cranked up 40%.  Very dark.  Shadows
are lost.  I gave up and thought it was me.  Still
could be me.  But at least I'm not alone.
