Digital BW, The Print

Hi all - This is my first post. I have been searching the archives and not finding what I think is out there - i.e. a concise description of the best practices for this setup. 

I have been using MIS UT-14 inks in a CIS from MIS in a epson 1400 connected to a mac running OS 10.6

I have been making prints using the epson driver and I'm sure I can do better. QTR does not list my printer/ink combo so I have not downloaded it yet. 

I like what I get now - is there a description of how I can get the best out of this setup?

Thank you, 

Dean Wenick
