Re: [Digital BW] 2100 with K3 inks - Crazy Idea

2005-07-16 by Carl Schofield

Should work just fine.  I had a custom set of inks in my 2200 that  
pretty much covered all of the bases from RC to cotton rag, warm,  
cool, sepia and anything in between.  Three blacks - MIS PKN, MIS PK,  
and Eboni.  MIS GLOP.  MIS UT7 LC, MIS UT7 LM, and MIS UT7 Y  
(Sepia).  The profiles were all essentially for one black, depending  
on paper and tone and various combinations of the two UT7 grays and  
sepia toner, so essentially a "Kk" set-up.  The Epson Kkk should be  
even better.
