Digital BW, The Print

Sorry for the shorthand.  BO = black only printing. MK = matt black ink.  PK
= photo black ink.  The UC inks are Epson Ultrachrome inks ie the inks that
come standard with the printer.  A good source is:


Www.atlex.com

When people refer to Eboni they are talking about inks made by MIS.  See

You can use QTR with any ink set if you have the curves (ie have gone
through the calibration process or someone has done it for you).  It sounds
to me like you should get to grips with what can be achieved with the inks
that came with the printer (ie UC) and then expand from there.  The
advantage of using the UC inks is that you can do colour work with the same
printer.  If you are prepared to dedicate the printer to B&W then exploring
the other ink sets (particularly, Paul Roark's new UT-2200 - take a look
through the archives) is worthwhile.
