Digital BW, The Print

I'm up and running :)
The first image was not up to high standards yet (microbanding in 
the  shadows and midtones, two areas when the tonal transitions are 
not smooth etc) but I need to start tweeking before the results are 
in.

I run 1160 with UT, for now regular blck (not Eboni) and Epson 
Premium glossy paper.

I have a set of test prints on the 1160 of the same image 
(clockgradient.jpg - neat thing to show hickups in tonal transitions) 
produced on the same printer with Paul Roark's curves and PS.

I also have a test print of the same image from the 2200 with 
ImagePrint with PhotoK in gray mode. Sorry to say it but in terms of 
smoothness of tonal transitions the 2200/IP is a standard I'm trying 
to match. I'm not sure if the 1160 curves provided int the QTR zip 
file are appropriate for glossy papers.

Again, thanks a lot for helping me with this. 
If you have any suggestions related to how to optimize my setup it 
would be great.
