Jamie,

You don't mention which printer or what QTR version but I'll guess that you
are using a 1280 at 2880x720 and the code is thinking 2880x1440.  Anyway the
lastest version 2.3 fixed some high dpi problems and I think this is one of them.
Since I don't have a 1280 I wasn't able to test it.  See and download:

Let me know if this solves the problem.  Also you should note that the profiles
are tuned for 1440 so they may require some Ink Limit Adjustment when printing.
