I'm thinking about giving UT14 a go. I used to have a 1290 (UK version of 1280) and UT2, and that was great until it became unreliable, and never came back. I then got an R220 with UT3D and this is great. Cheap and very controllable, especially as I have just been learning how to make the ICCs with a print fix pro. On a calibrated monitor I am getting very close matches between the print under daylight and whats on the screen. Good news indeed. Anyway onto the story... How does the gamut of UT14 compare to UT2 and UT3D? I am guessing its closer to UT3D - correct? In the UT14 readme Paul Roark mentions customising UT14 by putting something in the yellow position. Any recommendations? Could I get a colour range approaching UT2? (I imagine in only one way - cool or warm.) Also, can anyone comment on the reliability of UT14 in the 1400? I am a little scared given my experience with the 1290, which is a dye printer, and so is the 1400. Has anyone had clog nightmares yet? I dont think so from a quick scour of the list archives, although it looks like there may be paper feed problems, but this may be down to a bad printer. If UT14 is as easy to manage as UT3D then this will be great news. Thanks in advance for any replies, and especially thanks to Paul Roark for inventing these inksets and workflows for us to play with, and that give us such great results. Steve Taylor
