QTR-Quadtone RIP

I'm no expert, and I am on Windows, but I sure have had this problem. My solution was to create a tif file, derived from the original step etc. file, with very large patches (using the original tone of course) and then read the larger patches very carefully. With this file I usually I get a clean read with my I1 on the first or second try.

I'd be interested to learn what the proper solution would be.
