Digital BW, The Print

I received a set of the MIS UT inks in 2200 carts yesterday.  The ink 
positions are K - Photo Black, LK - Eboni Matte Black, C - 75% K, LC - 
50% K, Y - 25% K, M - blue toner, and LM - sepia toner.  I haven't 
loaded the entire inkset yet - just the Y position light gray and the M 
position blue toner.  I made four "hybrid" profiles (warm, "toned", 
cool and  extra cool) with QTR 2.0 using only the UC MK and LK inks 
plus the two UT inks for printing on EEM.  The "toned" profile is close 
to neutral, but the warm and xcool profiles can also be blended to get 
a neutral print.  The "cool" profile produces more of a cool-neutral 
print.  Tonal transitions are smooth and there are no dots visible in 
the highlights.  I also made a couple of purge profiles for the M and Y 
positions to aid in clearing the UC magenta and yellow inks after 
loading the UT inks in those positions.  I printed a target file with 
black strips and a gray wedge at the bottom with these profiles.  I 
think this is a better way to purge when changing inks rather than 
running cleaning cycles because you only have one ink channel firing 
with each profile and it conserves the other inks.  It took about three 
prints to clear the yellow ink out and only one for the magenta.  At 
this point I haven't made enough prints to know if I'll need the 
additional UT medium gray ink, but I may eventually try the whole set 
when I don't have any color work left to do.  The additional options 
available with the two toners loaded is quite appealing, as Daniel has 
already demonstrated with his 2100.  I originally intended to use the 
UC LC and LM for toning, instead of the UT blue toner, but I would have 
to get some help from Roy with modifications to the UC_NEUTRALIZER 
function to make that work because of the additional light gray ink in 
the mix.  If anyone else wants to play with these inks in their 2200, 
the QTR profiles and linearization data are available at my filesharing 
site in the UT.sit archive in the QuadtoneRIP 2.0 folder:
