Digital BW, The Print

Hi Peter,

Before moving to ImagePrint and using my Epson 2200 for both color and B&W,
I had migrated my Epson 1160, using Paul's curves and workflow, from the VM
inkset to the new (at the time!) UltraTones. I was very satisfied with my
initial results and even more so after receiving the latest curves from
Paul. You also get longer lasting images to boot! Great inkset, IMHO.

FWIW the UT inkset seemed to be slightly (and I mean ever so slightly) more
prone to clogging in my 1160. However, a couple of cleaning cycles with
nozzle checks and I was always good to go. As for matte printing, I pretty
much use EEM and PR, exclusively.

Hope this helps.

Alan Huntley
