Re: UT7 and UT2 Ink Compatibility

2010-07-18 by mbrouphy

Thanks again Paul for your feedback.  I'm still a bit snowed by the LK/LLK issue, though.  If the LK is ignored then how is it accounted for in the profile?

BTW - Your article on UT7 refers to the setup for Arches Watercolor.  Have you had any experience with the Epson Fine Art Watercolor paper.  While I've been using the Red River GreenPix, my wife prints all of her composite work on the Epson paper.  How is this paper similar or not to the Arches WC paper?

Thanks, Mike

If both printers are treated as hextone printers with the same inkset and ink positions, the profiles might be close.  I'm not sure about this, but it might be worth checking out.
