Digital BW, The Print

I posted this in reply to another post, but this may be a better place to ask the question.

You say you have been using the 1400 for 3 years with UT14 inks.

Have you been using it with QTR or the Epson driver ?

If you use QTR do you have any curves I could use, as the ones supplied in QTR are Black Only, with no opportunity to vary the tone. I prefer a neutral/cool tone, which can be achieved with the old 1290 by Curve Blending as there are curves for cool, warm etc.

The Epson OEM inks are the latest K3 pigment inks, and with acid-free paper (I use Moab Entrada Natural), I think it's a good combination for longevity. The ink cartridges in the R2880 are not very large. The Epson R3000 comes with much larger cartridges, they are very costly to replace, but the ink is much more economical in the long run.
