Hi Tyler,
CS3 was the last of the photoshops where the color management worked properly for grayscale printing.
With CC there will be a CM conversion that you can't prevent. But this really isn't a print quality issue --
the tones may be slightly different though. I'd recommend they try my new Print-Tool program that gets
things back to more CS3-like behavior.
The other thing I've seen is that if you carefully tailor output to exact 360 or 720ppi image file resolution
that can backfire. With all the fractional coordinates its possible to mistakingly get say 720.1 pixels and
therefore more interpolation artifacts. (mostly this is with exact graphics rather than photos).
And of course there's always the possibility that something else is different and they are not aware
of that. There are too many variables and settings to know for sure.
I'd be interested if they can repeatedly show a difference with a simple specific example.

Seems my friends don't like the forums. they just call me!! Since I don't know, I ask here! A friend has been printing with a 4800 and PS 3, on QTR for years, quite experienced.
Since doing the CC upgrade, prints on the same paper, same settings, all that stuff, are a hair less sharp, and a but "grainier". Prints were made from the same images to make sure. They did extensive testing to prove the difference, and insist they are on the correct side of the paper (my suspicion). Nozzle checks, all that.
This makes no sense to me, has anyone seen this kind of problem, or know of anything that could cause it?
Thanks,
