many thanks to all who responded. i had run a nozzle check and a head
alignment before i got started. turns out upping the dpi to 2880 and
changing the media to photo quality glossy film did the trick. BUT NOW.....
and you all knew there would be a "but now" didn't you?
the gradients of my sky are posterized. which i don't get since i'm
working with a large-ish file of 55mb. should be enough for an 8" x 8",
nay? and the whole image seems pretty weak in overall density wher the
print looked great. how to get more ink on the pictorico film? or is
this what all inkjet neg people suffer with?
thanks a bunch,
~christine
