Re: [QuadtoneRIP] Re: Comparing Cone's K7 curves with those produced by QTR curve creation tool.

Why don't you just decrease the default ink limit in the profile to  
75, print at 2880 and re-linearize? This setting used to work fine for  
me in a 2400.  If it is still too high for your printer try a limit  
near 50.
