QTR-Quadtone RIP

Mike,  That was the problem and all is well.  i had used the PK setting as
i don't have a matte black cartridge at present.  Loaded the UC curves and
that was it.  Will order matte black now.  Three photos printed just now
and all came out very neutral, which is what I'm after for now.

thanks again,  Charlie
