QTR-Quadtone RIP

Ah, ok interesting. Thanks Susan.  So what you're saying is just increase the actual size that the original step file prints at?  And maybe that way the i1 has an easier time reading the larger patches?

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.
