Re: [Digital BW] Current best low-hassle inkset for Epson 2200?

effect - unless you look through a loupe, in which case Cone K7 or MIS
UT7 would be far superior.

I've used QTR in the past but, honestly, not been greatly impressed
with the results I managed to achieve. I'm disappointed in the Epson
inkset not just for neutrality, but also for depth of blacks. I have a
print made on Entrada with Vivera inks that shows noticeably deeper
and punchier blacks than I have ever wrung out of my 2200, with either
the Epson driver or QTR.

I am hoping that a carbon inkset will be able to address both these
issues?
