QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hmm. I don't know how to help you further. I am not even sure which of systems; 2200 or 7000 is the one working correctly. You will need some meaurement tools for further diagnosis or refinement of curves. Unfortunately the Piezography ink partition and curve creation tools are not available. So you will need to create your own curves from scratch using QTR or have inkjetmall create custom curves for you.

Fortunately, Roy Harrington has recently added the utility that uses a scanner for this purpose.

Good luck.
