Re: UT2 inks and dots in highlights

2005-02-03 by rbehr2001

I also have seen some dots in highlights of a 1280 with UT2. Really
not noticeable but for digital reluctant galleries and customers it
could become an issue. I understand that Paul developed UT2 to be both
very flexible and very printer friendly and to also do a decent job
without curves on the Epson driver. He certainly succeeded in all respects

However, since I intend to move to QTR for a number of other reasons,
I have an idea I'd like to try. I would propose to load the 1280 with
Eboni black plus the (3) grays from the 1160 UltraChrome FS set (pure
carbon), plus the cool toner from the 1160 UT set, plus the sepia
toner from the 1280 UT2 set? The QTR profile for the 1160/FS (modified
for the 6 color printer) would serve as a starting point for warm
carbon prints and be modified for cool, neutral and sepia by adding
the appropriate toner. 

I would assume this would provide a very smooth gray scale with the
ability for cool and sepia toning. Any comment would be greatly
appreciated.
