QTR-Quadtone RIP

Scott, I've made several small test prints adjusting the gamma and 
ink limits and I've done the nozzle check/cleaning several times and 
the test pattern comes out looking perfect, but now that you mention 
it, I should try printing using those controls you mentioned, don't 
know why I didnt think of that myself, I suppose I didn't think it 
would matter. Anyway, I'm going to try that and report back to the 
forum here. Hopefully that'll work. 

Thanks for you help, Scott.
