QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hey to all!

it works now! It seems that one of the cartridges was not recognized 
properly by the printer. It was one of the refill cartridges that is 
filled with MIS Ultratone. I didn't notice it as I thought the 
printer was only telling me that one of the color cartridges was out. 
At the time I first inserted the cartridge filled with MIS it was 
recognized properly but the refill cartridges seem to have defective 
contacts...

I am very thankful for your help. Now I need to scan more, print 
more... btw is there a profile for MIS Ultratone and Epson Archival 
Matte Paper?

Thanks
Marc
