2200 MIS Ultratone positions

2003-11-13 by David Wroblewski

Carl (or other MIS UltraTone 2200 users):

I'm confused about UT ink positions in my 2200.

I'm sitting here looking at a set of 2200 UltraTone carts.
The readme that you bundled in with your 2200 QTR profiles
(thanks for making these) says the ink positions you 
used are:

K - UT Photo K (not used for these profiles)
LK - UT Eboni Matte Black
C - UT Dark Gray (75% K)
LC - UT Medium Gray (50% K)
M - UT Blue Toner
LM - UT Sepia Toner
Y - UT Light Gray (25% K)

The 2200 UT carts from MIS however are simply labeled by their
color position, not their content. For example, the cart for the 
light black position says "lt. black" and not "eboni". Likewise, 
the yellow cart says "UltraTone Yellow" not "25% K". And so
on.

Before I load these suckers, I want to confirm that your profiles
and these carts correspond. Was the list you included in your 
readme intended to simply confirm the standard MIS cart 
positions? Does your Lt. Black cart actually have "Eboni" 
printed on it? 

Reason why I'm asking is I've been in contact with MIS twice
about this, once when I ordered, and then yesterday when I told 
them that I didn't see anything labeled "eboni", when they said, 
"oh that's wrong, you shouldn't have photo black, we'll ship 
you a replacement." 

But now that I look at your readme again, it seems okay that 
I have photo black, as long as the cart labeled "lt. black" 
in fact has eboni in it.

Sorry for such basic questions, just trying to sort this out,
and I don't want to hassle them any more without a little more
research. 

Thanks,
David Wroblewski
