I'm still in mental roller coaster to decide on my printer/ink set. I'm skipping my original plan to by a R220. Instead I'll outfit my 2100 with either the UT-7 or UT-3D inks. I'm working with QTR. UT-7 would my current needs. On the other hand the systematic color space approach and the split-tone potential of UT-3D appeals to me. My questions on the are three-fold: 1) On this form repeatedly the "beta-stage" of the UT-3D inks are reported. Is there any view when these inks will have their final quality level? 2) I'm not fully sure on the role of the LK ink in the UT-3D set. My guess is that you don't need them when using QTR, but you do if you print with the Epson driver. Right? That would mean I have the option to experiment with sepia on the LK position(as indicated on Paul's site) or other toners if I use QTR. 3) On the previous question: I'd like to experiment (presently just for fun) with a green toner to get tones at the negative a-axis of the Lab space. Can I just mix MIS yellow, (light) cyan and light carbon? Or is that put way too simple? I realize the archival quality of this toner will not be very good.
