So far, the feedback I've heard is that the UT7 inkset works fine on the
2100.  There are some 2100 test strips in the mail to me now so that I can
see more directly how they look.

In my driver I check ICM and then NCA.  The Gamma box does disappear.

Use "Print with Preview" and be sure your Color Management shows a Source
Space of Gray Gamma 2.2 (assuming it's a grayscale file), and the Print
Space is "Same as Source."  Also, if you've ever used a Transfer Function,
check that there is none being applied.  Check the Output in the Preview box
and then the Transfer Function.  It should be a straight line -- i.e., none
there.

>Do you also have curves for Somerset Velvet and Somerset Enhanced

No, at least not yet.  Try to get the system working with a paper that is
profiled first.  Then take a shot at modifying the curves just by visual
comparison of test strips.  The newer curves are much easier to modify than
the old ones.

Good luck.
