I'm considering a change of inkset to UT-3D, using the PrintFIX Pro with the extended grays target to generate a color profile, printing with the standard Epson driver, and tinting in Photoshop. The advantages of this approach seem to be: a fully color-managed workflow with the standard printer driver, only one profile per printer/paper combination, (rough) monitor/print matching on tints without needing soft proofing profiles, ability to generate web images that match prints. Has anyone tried this? I have two concerns in particular: 1. What's the best way to tint in Photoshop to keep within the ink gamuts? Is this easy to do? 2. How do you handle glossy papers? Will I need to install a photo black? It seems that the approach Paul Roark suggests of using Eboni on glossy paper (using dark grays to add density?) might not work in this approach. In particular, I want to print on Innova Fibaprint White Gloss. Maybe this will take Eboni OK anyway? --Daniel
