I used quads in an 1160 and 1280 for several years and have been using QTR
for about four months. I see no color cast at all with UC inks in a 2200
with EEM and PFA papers. There are a variety of tonal choices that can be
made so a little playing around between warm and cool was required at first
to get a neutral blend but that took maybe fifteen minutes and only had to
be done once.

Subject: [Digital BW] Is QTR truly neutral?




Hi all,

While contemplating my next printer, I'm interested in subjective responses
here.  With the
2200 and epson inks, are QTR images truly neutral?  I realize that you can
tone images,
but are the results comparable to a dedicated quad inkset?  I am not looking
for
perfection, but I would prefer the ramp from black to white showing no color
casts or
crossovers.  Warm, neutral, or platinum tones are great - as long as the
tone is stable
from black to white.  I like the idea of one printer for color and black and
white - and I
only print on matte papers.
