Re: BO, UT7, dots and skin

2004-05-20 by edrudolpho

Hi Clayton...  I'm hesitant to say much about the UT7s since I'm quite the newcomer 
to the world of digital B&W printing.  I don't have the experience to compare the UT7 
results to other methods.  Prior to printing with UT7 all I've done is print some BO on 
a 2200 using both the Epson PK on glossy and MIS Eboni on Matte papers.  And also 
print some B&W prints on a non-profiled and then profiled R800.

I've been pretty happy with the UT7 results, after trying both the "Driver, Printer Color 
Management" workflow, and the adjustment curves available from Paul Roark's 
website.  However, I haven't done any step wedge testing yet, to see what tweaks 
might improve the result.  For the moment, I'm simply happy to be able to print a true 
gray scale image!

From the lack of problems I've had and the quality of the results, I'd certainly 
recommend interested 2200 users give the inkset a try.  I'd be interested to hear 
other opinions.  :-)
