The FS-Y is lighter, so you should have fewer dots visible in the highlights. After seeing a Tyler Boley print, I realize there is a _huge_ improvement possible from what I have toyed with using UC inks in the 2200. Anything I come up with Ill be looking to discuss. Minimizing dither patters is my goal. The Epson/Roark approach is hard to beat, and will be my benchmark.

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!
