Digital BW, The Print

Several of the inksets I've been involved with will run on the 7600.

The MIS UT-7 is a variable-tone inkset that I used on a 7600, both with the
Epson driver and the Bowhaus IJC rip.  See my notes at
http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/UT7-7600-Readme.htm 


The UT-3D that I'm setting up now I have running on the 2200, and it is
intended to cover the 7600.  It will give easy Lab a* and b* control across
most of the range and most popular papers.  It utilizes the UT7 C & LC, but
the UT7 toner is split, and there will be a new LK. 

The UT inksets like UT7 and UT-3D print on matte or glossy papers without
changing the inks.  The dmax is generated with the dark midtones.  With the
3D on a 2200, this is hitting 2.3 on the Epson Ultra Premium I'm printing at
the moment.  It does not suffer from gloss differential at the dark end, in
part, because there is no sudden change of ink at there.  The UT inks have
very low bronzing.

The UT inks have been the most lightfast I've tested, in part because they
use the minimum amount of color pigments, and the blended inks back the
colors up with carbon, minimizing the visual density loss as the color pigs
fade.

I'm going to color management to match the monitor and print.  I think it is
the easiest way to go.  With the UT-3D I'm using Roy's Create ICC, and there
may be other automatic profiling down the road.
