Digital BW, The Print

Jens,

> ... How about the 3800?  Would UT2 work with QTR?

While QTR is what I'd recommend if one tries to use QTR on either a 
2k or k3 printer, I don't recommend UT2 for the 3800.  I don't 
recommend any blended ink for a printer with large-format type carts.

By "blended ink" I mean a pigment ink that has more than one pigment 
type mixed in a single ink.  My experience with MIS blended inks in 
my 7500 indicates that they tend to separate, causing tone shifts.  
See page 4 of http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/4K+.pdf
Note that with desktop printers where the carts are agitated 
regularly this is not a problem.  The 3800, however, has large format 
type carts that are not continually agitated.

I don't know.
