Digital BW, The Print

Hello everybody, I am new to the list.

I am starting to use the UT-FSN ink set on an Epson 1160. So far I have used
Triton Plus, which is a German product. I was never satisfied with the
shadow separation. Therefore I decided to switch to MIS.

I am using your Pauls curves provided by MIS on their webpage. The paper is
Hahnemuehle Photo Rag 308g. Printing is done from Photoshop 7.

With the grayscale profile UT-GrayScale-EEM.acv   I am getting reasonable
results. There is room for improvement, but this is not a surprise, since
the curve is a generic one.  Using the photo rag curve
1160-UT-FS-RGB-PhotoRag and converting the picture (step wedge) into RGB
before printing makes things much worse. There is no rise from light to dark
grays. It goes up and down. I think I miss something obvious. 

My other setting:

Color space :AdobeRGB(1998)

Epson Paper setting: Heavy Matte

Dot Gain: 20%

Your help would be very much appreciated.

Regards, Stefan
