Digital BW, The Print

Thanks Carl...I will do a little more testing tonight.  (FYI on the colour
print I did, with things settling overnight I find it very difficult to tell
much difference in the prints...even in the blues...but will take a further
closer look this evening.)

Steve,

I exchanged test prints with Tom Fors when I was testing the UT inks
with QTR and he sent me some IP 5.6 prints on EEM (UC inks).  To my
eye, the tone of the neutral IP print was matched best with a 30
warm/70 cool blend of the warm/cool QTR UC profiles for EEM.  The QTR
prints had slightly more deep shadow detail in the 95-100 % region, but
otherwise the IP and QTR prints looked very similar when the tones were
matched.  I don't think you can stray too far from  neutral with the IP
tint picker, so if you need decidedly warm or cool tones (or even
sepia) then this might be difficult with IP.

Carl
