Digital BW, The Print

Hi Stephen,

Thanks much for the tip.  However, right now I'm afraid my budget is a
little too limiting to consider picking up any more software or a new
printer. But, I'm hoping to be able to pick up an Epson 4800 or
possibly
even a 7800 at some point next year (crossing my fingers regarding
funding). Maybe at that point I might be able to do some
experimentation in that direction.

In the meantime, from some initial tests with the Piezotone Cool
Neutral inks on H Photo Rag, I think a simple cool ink / warm paper
combination will probably be sufficient.

Your post got me thinking though, and I'm curious if anyone knows if
it's possible to do split toning with the UT2 inks on a 1280,
possibly by creating custom curves in QTR with cool darks to warm
lights, or maybe by some other means?

Thanks again,

Eric
