QTR-Quadtone RIP

Roy,
Were all your test prints done with QTR?  

In my test prints of the 1 pt. type (whether it be the inkjetmall file
or my own) all were done with the printer at 2880dpi.  Even when all
the prints are done at 2880, QTR does appear to print noticeably
better than the Epson driver with higher resolution files.   With 360
dpi file the prints appear different but of similar resulting resolution.
