Hi Everybody, Thank you very much for helping me in my search for the appropriate scanner. I think I will get the one from Polaroid, the SprintScan 4000 since I do a lot of b&w in 35mm and intend to print out in larger formats. Now, can anyone recommend a printer which is good, not to pricey and does handle well b&w prints in various formats? Thanks.

I thought you said you have the Epson 2200 (looking back at your original post)...With this you can use the Epson OEM inks and a RIP such as Quadtone and get excellent B&W prints. The good news is that it is free. You can also consider using Inkjetcontrol/Open Printmaker although I have no experience with this. Or you can pay $495 and purchase Colorbyte's Imageprint RIP which will potentially (I say potentially because I have not used it - if you are starting out it can be quite an upfront expense to fully load your system at the beginning rather building it as you get used to RIPs, color mgt, scanning techniques etc) improve your colour prints over and above the Epson driver. Otherwise you are looking at the (dedicated) (septone) B&W ink sets. Personally (and if I am correctly judging wwhere you are starting from in all this) I would start with your existing 2200 and use Quadtone and then progress from there if you feel you need to. --- In DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com, "njhilite" <njhilite@y...> wrote:

If these inks become available before the MIS UT inks in 2200 carts I may try one of the lighter gray inks with the standard UC inks in QTR and IJC/OPM to improve the profiles I'm already using. Any info available on densities of the gray inks?

What is the "general view" of how long it would take to flush these or the Epson OEM inks thru the 2200? ie can one simply swap the cartridges and, say, spend one page in transitioning from one ink set to the other? --- In DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com, "Daniel Staver" <daniel@p...> wrote:

Depends which way you're going... When I change from Ultratone inks to color inks in my 2100 it only takes a single cleaning cycle. The other way the yellow tends to require two or three cleaning cycles before it goes away completely. -- Daniel Staver http://daniel.staver.no

Someone help me out here....As I understand it, the MIS B&W Ultratones for the 2200 do not require any additional software to use them -- you simply load a curve into photoshop and print using the normal driver. The B&W Septone inks seem to require additional software (the photoshop plug-in or pixelpicasso). Is this correct? And if so, I wondering if I should just go with the MIS catridges rather than the Septones, since both use 7 shades of gray inks for making B&W prints; both have excellent longevity ratings; and with the MIS ones, I don't need to pay additional $ for software. Or are there important differences between the 2 systems I'm missing, other than the additional software issue?

Carl As you can tell from my other posting in this topic I am trying to understa= nd this stuff a bit better. I am puzzzled by your post because of the following: why wo= uld you stop at just adding/using 1 of the light grays? Aren't you esssentially tr= ying to improve the range of grays available to QTR and hence why not endeavour to = get QTR to work with all of them. In essence QTR then becomes a (much cheaper) alt= ernative to the Septone Photoshop® Plug-in. Taken to its extreme this is where you= are going isn't it? - a worthy goal considering the cost of the plug-in. Of c= ourse the Septone cartridges are much more expensive than the standard UC inks, and I= assume the UT ones will be also, and swapping all rather than a few will be= more expensive...

2003-08-13 by Carl Schofield
I think we will only need one additional light gray ink to smooth out the highlights and since I use the 2200 for both color and B&W it would be much easier if there is only one cart to switch when changing back and forth. Carl

According to someone I emailed with at MIS, the Ultratone cartidges for the 2200 are indeed available now: "I'll do my best to answer all of your questions. We currently have Ultra-tone available in cartridges for the 2200, but you'll need to phone in your order, as they are not yet available on our web site. 248-391-2163" But none of this answers my question re: the Ultratones v.

I've been running the Ultratones in a 2100 for some months now. There haven't been any cartridges available, so I cleaned and refilled old Epson cartridges. I've adapted two of Paul's 1290 curves to use with them and have made several of my own curves as well, but they don't really give me completely dotless highlights. I'd be happy to share my curves with anyone who needs them... -- Daniel Staver http://daniel.staver.no

Correct - I just ordered some. You will need to use either IJC/OPM or QTR with these inks, but there are no IJC profiles available yet and I believe that Daniel is the only one that has developed QTR profiles for the whole inkset. Carl

You can also try my curves for the Epson driver and EEM paper: http://daniel.staver.no/img/ultratone2100curves.zip They will print the images a bit bright, unfortunately I managed to linearize the curves to a stepwedge that had been the victim of too much color management. If you assign the Dot Gain 30% profile to the image before converting to RGB it should print with the correct brightness. I should probably take the time to redo the curves one of these days... Use 'No color adjustment' in the Epson driver and 'Same as source' in the Photoshop print settings. -- Daniel Staver http://daniel.staver.no
