QTR-Quadtone RIP

Will - thanks for the pointer. With these curves the outcome was
better. I ordered the Bradford trail pack fo paper - and the Bradford
curves did improve the print.

I have to say at this point for me it still is not worthy of the
investment above IP6 - but - I am new to QTR and if I can leave how to
tweak the curves that may change. IP is just so easy 
Thanks again for the help
