Daniel, You'll get used to the "normal" speed of unidirectional printing. It is the ONLY type that I have used; quality over speed for both my 7000 and 4800. Hi speed or bi directional is good for quick draft quality, but unless you have a 3800 just relax.

I've been using MIS UT7 inks on an Epson 2200 with Paul Roark's curves and the Epson driver for a few years, and have been mostly very happy with the results. But I'm giving QTR a try again, as I decided to get more serious about linearizing and getting a good monitor/print match. I get very fine banding with QTR (which I see several people have complained about) that goes away if I switch to unidirectional printing. So here's my question: should I stick with QTR and just accept this reduction in printing speed? I get the impression that it will be easier to linearize and to make curves for new papers with QTR, and that QTR allows much finer control. But I'm concerned about the drop in speed and the QTR prints don't look better than the ones produced by my old method. --Daniel . <http://geo.yahoo.com/serv?s=97359714/grpId=14834347/grpspId=1705019182/msgI d=4589/stime=1180353392/nc1=4543830/nc2=3848616/nc3=4299909> [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
