Digital BW, The Print

Paul

This guy is simply trying to get his current Epson UC inks to work better
for him.  10% of his work is B&W and so I doubt he is interested in
dedicating his printer to B&W ink sets.  I was generalising but I suspect it
would be very difficult to use your curves workflow with the Epson UC inks.
He is a long way away from your workflow and is simply trying to use the
existing QTR curves - which should produce better results than he seems to
be getting.

I meant that QTR can produce metamerism free prints with the Epson UC - his
chief complaint.

Yes we could intro a whole different level of complexity here but I don't
think it is going to be all that helpful.
