Re: [Digital BW] VM vs. Ultratone

2003-11-27 by john eckenrode

hello

two quick things:

http://www.inkjetgoodies.com/main/psactions.htm
that is a link to a free plugin that works pretty well
for converting color to b&w, it always needs a tweek
or two, but it generally works for me.

also check
http://www.russellbrown.com/
then go to the "Seeing in Black & White" section,
there is a useful tutorial on cnverting to bw.

UT ink is much better than VM for a bunch of reasons,
i use a CIS with a 1200 and hasn't clogged yet. it
prints smoother, its more permanent, VM used to band
on my printer, UT doesn't, it has nice tone. I use it
with QTR but it also works great with EEM and Photo
Rag with Paul's VM curves. I would never go back to
VM.

sweet
john e
