[Digital BW] Re: r200 with QTR

2005-08-30 by welchmatt

John,

I'll let you know if I try them.  In the meantime, I'm also interested
in your solution.  I'm familiar with the UT7 inks, though I've never
used them.  What is the advantage of using FS-Y over the standard UT7 Y?

I'm hoping you'll be kind enough to release whatever QTR profiles you
come up with!

Thanks,
Matt
