I thought I read on the MIS website somewhere that the Ultrachrome and UT7 inks have a heaver pigment load and can't be pumped through a dye-based ink printer. Paul and Clayton, do you know if this is true? If so, since the 870 is a dye-based printer (if my memory is correct), then would the UT2 inks have too light a pigment load for the 2200 and give too light a print without a custom curve? --- In DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com, "dionloy" <dion- dbw@l...> wrote: > I have an Epson 870 and a just-opened set of UT2 bottles (filled one > spongeless cartridge, but haven't used it yet). > > Just purchased an Epson 2200 and have to get rid of the 870 for space > reasons. > > Is there any way I could use the UT2 inks in the 2200 (is there some > sort of mapping between the UT2 to UT7 inks?).
