Digital BW, The Print

Tom,

I've been using the HPR Satin with QTR, 4000, and MIS UC inks.  I'm  
generally pleased with the prints (neutral and sepia) and I see no  
bronzing or metamerism at all.  This paper needs a lot of ink (limits  
are 1.5x greater than regular HPR) to get a decent dmax (I get 1.7  
-1.8) and you need to use the MK ink because PK gives a low dmax.   
Also, watch out for ink rub-off while this paper is drying (takes a  
good 3 days to completely cure).   I put the QTR profiles on my  
filesharing site for anyone who wants to try them.  Note that I was  
using the MIS UT7 LK ink in place of regular LK so you may have to  
adjust the LC and LM inks to tune the neutrality if you are using the  
Epson UC inks.  Also, the profiles settings are for printing at 2880  
dpi, better mode, matte ink.
There are two profiles (neutral and sepia) in a zip archive in the  
HPR Satin folder on my filesharing site:
