Digital BW, The Print

Hi

Having finally got around to installng my UT7 carts, I
decided to do a few tests.  I printed out the same
image in a few different ways, including using the
standard B+W settings in the Epson driver with UC
inks, using QTR, using BO and finally playing with
curves and the UT7 inks.  I think the cool curve for
EEM on the 2200 is about what I would call neutral,
with everything else being too warm for me.

Anyway, onto the point of this.  When I did a BO print
as per Clayton's site I ended up with what can best be
described as a copper toned print.  Could this mean
that my Matt black cartridge is not what it is supposd
to be?    It is an Epson one, but is labelled Made in
China rather than Japan.  I think this would explain
why I spent several days tearing my hair out last
month when printing colour and any deep shadows where
going horrifically red.

Am I right in thinking this must be a bad cart?  I was
suspecting BO prints to be shades of grey, not shades
of Red!  Anyway, any images i print without a vast
amount of shadow seem fine, and it is only very
obvious on images which have very deep shadows.

Any comments or similar problems out there or am I
just cursed?

Cheers for reading my ramblings
