QTR-Quadtone RIP

This has been a bit of a monologue - but I thought someone out there
might give a wry smile...

Problem solved.  I was printing onto A3+ - not A3!  I'd not realised
that I'd ORDERED A3+ from firstcall-photographic.co.uk + I'd not
registered that this was what had been delivered.  

I simply didn't read the packaging and went for the A3 option in QTR.
 Now having set the paper size to CUSTOM / 13" x 19" I'm printing very
very happily, getting depth of blacks + levels of fine detail that I
had never hoped to achieve from inkjet printing.  The REALLY good news
from my perspective is that with this combination, so long as I can
get inks for my 2100 I see no need to spend money on a replacement.

Thanks to Stephen Billard for responding to a personal email.  Thanks
to the list for the wealth of information here.

Best
