Digital BW, The Print

North,

I just made a set of QTR profiles yesterday for Inkjetart Microceramic  
Luster with the 2200 UC inks (PK).  This paper is essentially the same  
as Epson's premium luster.  I've sent the profiles to you to try - use  
the Premium Luster media setting and 1440x720 HQ resolution setting.   
Good dmax, but as usual significant bronzing with the UC inks on this  
type paper.
