Re: UT2 & 1290

2004-02-20 by scrber

Hi Paul, as you know, I am a 1290 user and sent you a load of ramp 
prints.  
I have to say that I am very happy with the performance of the UT2 
inkset.  I have recently changed to PS CS and when using 16bit prior 
to applying curves I am getting super prints.
They may NOT be as good as the 1280 correct prints - I don't know, 
but they are a huge, huge improvement on what I was getting with the 
UT1 set and the original VM set using 1280/1290 curves.
You may find that the 1290 user base is actually more than satisfied 
with the results.
I would dearly like a copy of any new curves if you feel results 
could be improved further, but I for one am pretty pleased with my 
new set-up.
I have taken my UT1 set out of my second printer already.

Thanks for your ongoing support.
Steve
