Re: [Digital BW] Shadow detail with 2200 and Ultratones

Mark,

What method are you using to print with the UT inks in the 2200?  I'm 
using QTR with the UT inks in my 2200 and don't have a problem with 
blocked shadows.  Here are some density measurements for the UT inks in 
that range on EEM:
95% - 1.49
96% - 1.52
97% - 1.55
98% - 1.60
99% - 1.64
100% - 1.69

There are some QTR profiles for the UT inks in the 2200 Ultratone 
Profiles.sit file, in the QuadToneRIP 2.0 folder on my filesharing site 
if you want to try them:
