Newbie R800 Question - Ink rubs right off!

2007-12-11 by dropthattrout

Hello,

I've just started using QTR, and so far have been impressed with the
output.  I think I have more work to do to get the prints I want, but
first I need to fix my biggest issue.  The ink on my paper never dries
fully.  It rubs right off!

I am using inksupply.com (MIS) inks, and have tried Epson Premium
Lustre (which is really nice but messy when the ink rubs off), and
Epson Premium Matte, which dries a little better, but still comes off
on your fingers if you touch the print.  I've started using a local
brand, here in Toronto, called CCBC Premium Lustre, which is great,
but has the same ink problem.

I am wondering if this is happening because the R800 isn't printing
with the Gloss Optimizer?  How can I keep the ink on the page??

BTW, I am using 2.5.2.0 and using the QuadR800 profile.

Is anybody else using the same setup, and not having the same problem?
 Is this an issue to do with a curve that I should be using?

Thank you to anyone who can shed some light on this issue for me.  I
greatly appreciate it!

Cheers,
Adam
