Digital BW, The Print

Thanks, Daniel.  That makes it clearer.

BTW, I do have some UT7 inks in my 2200 now (Windows XP platform).  
Are there any good QTR profiles built for this inkset that I can get 
my grubby little mitts on?  I am trying to learn how to build good 
profiles with QTR for this inkset, use toners, etc.

Thanks,
Lou Dina
