I have a few curves and ICCs posted at
http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/UT-3D_Downloads.html

Note for the 220 how many glossy papers appear to use the same profile.  I
assume that will be the case for other printers also.

The 2200 may lag a bit in profiles.  I'll try to get the 220 supported first
so that it can be a test bed for those who might be interested and want to
see how the system works.

Although in my general UT-3D PDF at
http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/UT-3D_Readme.pdf I note that most 6 and 7 ink
printers will work with the new inkset, next week I'll see if the inkset
works in the 2400.  There has been a special request for coverage in k3
machines; so that group may move in front of the 2200.

I've been able to get the UT-3D dmax using the 2 dark gray inks up to equal
the PK for the papers & printers I've compared.
