Digital BW, The Print

Glad to hear it. I ordered my UT-2 inks on Jan 6 and am eagerly waiting 
their arrival.

I too found that I needed to add contrast to my images when using the 
original UT inks and Roark's workflow.

+14 seemed to do the trick, although I only tested it with 2 images 
before running out of ink.

I imagine the amount could vary depending on the image, but it'd be nice 
to be able to create a photoshop action that automatically applies the 
contrast just prior to applying a Roark curve.
