BW Inkset for Epson 2100 - which one?

2007-01-03 by Bernie Ess

Hello, 
after a while where I have mainly sent my prints to a printshop I
would like to reactivate my 2100 that I now use with UC original inks. 
I will continue to make my color prints at the print shop, but I dont
like the look of their papers for b&w, so I would like to do them on
my own. 

After quite a few issues with my old CFS (UT7 inks) I would consider
refill carts. I do not print very much - only a moderate amount of
printing. 

Question is: What current inkset gives the best overall performance on
a wide choice of papers, mostly fineart sometimes maybe luster and
glossy papers?

I consider UT-3d, or another MIS inkset, but which one?  The prints I
currently do with the original Epson inks with Bowhaus OPM or
Harrington QTR are neutral, but I dont like the dmax - deep blacks
seem almost impossible to achieve on matte papers...

I would be glad about any useful input,

thanks in advance,

Bernhard
