See http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/UT14.pdf

On Page 1 I set out the ink positions.  Y = Glop.

The UT14 does a very nice job with many glossy papers. I can be a very good place for a person to start.  

I usually move on fairly quickly, however.  It's what I do.  I suppose how long I stay with one inkset tells you what I like.  The Eboni-based inksets for  matte prints is where my fine art printing has sat for some time.  

I'm not, however, thrilled with glossy pigments.  The advanced dyes look interesting, the mini-labs' move into "dry lab" printing using these materials appears to have opened up the supplies, and I'm exploring them.
