I have been using MIS's original VM inks on a 1160 and 99% of the time I use the neutral curve. The resulting prints are nice but seems to lack the drama that I was able to achieve in the wet darkroom. I am wondering if another inkset would give the result that I am looking for, namely deep netural blacks and punch (what ever that means). I'm considering MIS's utra-tones, FS-N, or one of Cone's inksets. I don't need the tone options of the utra-tones but am more intrested in a neutral to cool inkset. Also, I don't want to go through the expense of purchasing special printer drives just to find out later that I don't like the result. Lately, I have been using QuadTone Rip 2.0 with very good result. Could I use QuadTone Rip with the Cone inks? I guess my basic question is: "Ignoring the issues of print drivers,long term print fading, or the need to vary tone, which inkset will produce deep neutral, or slighlty cool, blacks (on EAM)." I know that a lot of you have already faced the inkset issue so I would like tap into your experiences and knowledge. Thanks, Brad
