At last check Colorbyte Software (Imageprint makers) would only profile Ultrachrome inks on the 2100/2200, 7600, 9600 printers.  It seems that one should be able to profile other ink/paper combinations using Imageprint, but they won't do it.  Maybe someone on this list has already profiled this.  If so, on the Epsons one profile should be very close on someone else's Epson of the same model.

Will the ImagePrint RIP also work with the MIS Ultra Chrome compatible color
inks? Or if not, what would have to be done to make it work like the
original Epson inks?

As I am on a PC I would have to get - next to Win XP - a Linux installation
for printing. Would I have to get also a dedicated graphic applicaiton or
could I just switch to Linux to print out my photos I edited under PS/ Win
XP?
