I just switched from UT to UT-7 inks, and I'm going through a, er, learning phase... meaning I have a lot of dumb questions. :-) I mainly print on either EEM or H. Photo Rag. Using the UT inks, I could basically use the same profile on either paper (relinearized, of course) and get a very similar result, despite the fact that Photo Rag base is more of a cream color than EEM's brilliant white. Now, with the UT-7 inks, I just printed a picture on Photo Rag, and instead of being more or less the same as on EEM, it has a strong greenish cast--very muddy looking grays, too, and darn ugly. I thought it looked a little off until I set it next to both a UT-7/EEM and a UT/Photo Rag, both of which look very nice in comparison. I'm using a 2200 with clean nozzle checks + IJC/OPM. Now, my questions, for anyone who knows both the UT and UT-7's. (1) Have you been able to get more or less the same hues from either set? Or should my expectation be that I've switched to a different "palette", and trying to match my old UT prints (or close) is misguided? Obviously, the profiles will be different, since the component inks are different, but I don't want to get into IJC profile tweaking if this ain't possible. (Actually, I have been messing with profiles, with zero success.) (2) Has anyone seen this dramatic difference between EEM and Photo Rag with UT-7? -david
