Digital BW, The Print

Ed,

Thanks for letting me know about the broken links.  I think I've fixed the
problem now.

I'm glad the system is working for you.

I encourage people using either the UT2 or UT7 inksets to try the easy,
no-curves method of printing first.  Frankly, most of my routine prints are
on EEM from grayscale files with no curves and no sliders used.  For a set
of cards I'm doing, I'm even using 720 dpi with High Speed checked.  The
results are just fine.  The system should produce good B&W prints with the
driver in close to its default settings.  (Paper type set to "Matte
Paper-Heavyweight" for UT2 and "Enhanced Matte" for UT7, and a resolution of
at least 720 gives noticeably better quality than the default "Plain paper"
and 360 dpi.)

Let me know if there are any other errors.

I think I'll make a simplified instruction sheet.  The web information
sheets are mostly just my notes that I make while testing.  So, they are not
very concise.

Good luck with the system.

Subject: [Digital BW] First UT7 experiences

Hello Paul... I received a set of UT7 inks today and tried them out this
evening, 
making several prints on various papers:  EEM, HPR, and a few sheets of Hawk

Mountain that I'd gotten in a sample pack (Osprey Smooth and Osprey
Natural).  The 
results are good.  For all of the prints except one I used the slider
method.  For the 
last print, on HPR, I downloaded curves from your website.  (It seems that
the Sepa, 
Light Sepia and Dark Sepia curves for EEM are missing - broken links.)  I
want to 
thank you for the great deal of work you've done on this project.  You've
made it 
easy, even for a neophyte like me, to begin to produce good digital B&W
prints.
