I'm looking to switch from the MIS VM-sepia to a UT flavor but I'm unclear how warm the standard UT mix goes. Is it more like the original VM mix or the VM-Sepia? If I want a sepia option should I order a sepia ink in lieu of the "stock" toner? Using Paul's curves with VM-S, a "nuetral" print was obtained using the "warm" print (no toner). Is that still true with the UT set or is it more like the original VM that uses a middle curve for neutrality? If I went with a sepia version how would I get a neutral print? I'm also confused about the UT-2 option. Am I correct in understanding that this inkset gives a broader range than the UT (or UT sepia) because it has two toners? I'm wondering if this inkset might not be an interesting option to use with Roy's QTR. Anyone tried that? Any reason to think the ink densities of one set (UT vs UT-2) should work any better through QTR? Basically what I'd really like is a set that includes strongish selenium, nuetral, and sepia (no need for bluish prints). Or at least neutral and sepia. Given my needs and the UT options anyone have any thoughts on what might be the best approach? I understand that to get selenium and sepia may require two tones, at least one of which might need to be custom, but I wonder which inkset and workflow would get me there fastest/easiest and which would take me the furthest. (Oh yeah, this for an 1160 and a 9000) My suspicion is that QTR is the more versatile driver for multiple printers and toners, however my immediate need is for "neutral" prints. Obviously my head is all over the place on this but I'd like to order the inks before MIS goes on holidays later this week, so any advice that may pertain would be much appreciated. Thanks, Todd
