Hi Shilesh,

The 3D inkset seems to be a tough mix for MIS.  I was able to make a couple good
3D profiles for my 4000 but it was difficult.  

I have an order for some of the R2 inks -- both neutral and warm.  That with 
an idea for a sepia-like toner should be a lot easier to profile with QTR.  
I like that all the inks are "nice" B&W tones and most any mix will be within
the range of traditional B&W printing.
I'll be starting on a small printer but I'd like to see the idea migrate to all the printers.
