Not getting full Blacks

2008-04-16 by psokolowski55

Hello everyone, Maybe someone can help. I switched to the QTR/Phiz. ink system many years 
ago and up until recently have had minimal problems.

When I print now it looks like I'm not getting the deep black that I should be getting in my 
photographs. I have checked the ink levels and cleaned the heads. The Nossle check is giving 
me a perfect reading but I'm not getting deep rich blacks (it looks like a very detailed mud 
puddle). I'm printing on an Epson 2200. When I print the same image on my Cannon Pro 
9000 the picture looks great but I like the range the QTR used to give me and I want to 
continue to use it. 

When I print I'm using all the correct profiles and curves and what not but obviously I'm doing 
something wrong. 

I apologize if I have left out critical info but if you can help I will be more than willing to try 
anything.

Looking forward to your responses.

Philip
