Digital BW, The Print

David,

The nice selection of curves is only available to 2200 users. People
with lesser printers have to work with a smaller selection. I just
spent the evening fixing my Kirkland workflow. Here's what I'm doing
on my 1280 with UT2, Eboni black (you didn't specify what you have, I
hope it's the same!)

QTR Photo Quality Glossy Paper
1440 Resolution / Better Quality
60% UT2-EPremLuster-neutral-3
40% UT2-EPremLuster-carbon-3
Ink limit, gamma = 0

This gives a coldish print. Swap to 40%/60% for a warmish print (the
differences are subtle). So far I have noticed very little difference
between paper types (Luster, Photo Quality, Premium Glossy) but you
may want to try them.

You can try printing straight to QTR like this, but I had problems
with tonal separation in the 30-40 range. You can try Roy's profile,
which works for some of my pictures but not others.

For images that need more low-end tonal separation I made a curve with
a very sharp toe that solved the problem. Here's my Kirkland curve:

0->0
29->23
35->35
40->40
64->64
128->128

I have not fine-tuned this but it should be a good start.
