Carl or Richard- 

Please tell me what QTR is and if they or the UT7 inks are preferable for
B&W work on the epson2200.

Thanks,

Chris Jones

Richard,

The "Se" in the CoolSe profiles stands for Selenium tone and these 
profiles simply use slightly more light magenta ink relative to light 
cyan, compared to the Cool profiles where light magenta and light cyan 
are used in equal amounts.  Neutral or a near neutral tone is achieved 
by blending either the Cool or CoolSe profile with the warm profile to 
get the desired tone - just experiment with various blending 
proportions to get the "neutral" tone you like.  Different papers will 
usually have different ink limit values and also different partitioning 
points, where the black and light black inks blend together.  This may 
or may not affect the print when using a specific profile for other 
papers, depending on how similar they are.  Usually, you won't see 
dramatic differences when using the matte paper profiles 
interchangeably with most of the cotton rag papers, but for critical 
work it would be best to use paper/ink specific profiles.  See the 
instructions on Roy's site for the Mac version of QTR for information 
on how profiles are constructed.  I don't think that profile 
construction has been implemented yet for the PC version.
