Digital BW, The Print

Thanks for your responses, Carl.  This is all new to me.  My attempts at B&W 
printing with the 2200 have been disappointing to say the least.   The only 
clean B&W prints I've had so far, come from my darkroom.  (I haven't given up 
on film yet.)  At least I don't get metamerism with silver prints.  Does the MIS 
UTPKN avoid that problem?

I've been on the MIS website but it's all a little confusing for the beginner.  I'm 
not new to digital printing, but this is my first serious attempt at black and 
white.  

Now, you say you're using RC paper.  I happen to be using Epson Premium 
semi and Velvet right now.  I'm assuming I'd have to create profiles for any 
particular paper I decide to use.  Where does one get QTR and IJC/OPM to 
create these profiles?  In your response to my other email, you seem to be 
saying these can be used to control the Photo black/Matte black and light 
black inks.  What tone is the "carbon" achieved by doing this?

Thanks again,

peter
