For the middle tones -- neutral through medium warm -- the inkset can print
from grayscale files, from any application, and the tones are selected by
manipulating the driver sliders.  For the more extreme tones -- carbon and
sepia -- RGB conversion and curves are needed.

The top 2 images were with sliders, the bottom 2 with curves.  (That was the
light sepia curve; there is a stronger sepia curve too.)  
See http://home1.gte.net/res0a2zt/V-tone.html 

UT-2 is for both novices and power users.
