Digital BW, The Print

I finally decided to try the full MIS Ultratone inkset in the Epson 
2200 and created a set of profiles (warm, cool, neutral, and sepia) for 
EEM using QTR 2.0 (beta 8).  The profiles are available at my 
filesharing site in the QuadToneRIP 2.0 folder in the 2200 Ultratone 
Profiles.sit archive:

There is also a screen-grab of the Eye-One scans of a 21 step gray 
wedge printed with the linearized profiles:

The profiles can be used individually or any two can be blended in the 
desired proportions using the QTR driver blender.

hi carl
how did you get the 2200 UT carts? i did not see
anything on the MIS site. how much were they?
how do you like the full set compared to the hybrid
set up you were playing with the other day? i have a
1200 with UT that I like, but my 2200 prints easier
and better so i am thinking using my 2200 for color
and b&w with QTR. before i jump in i just want to
gather your experience and thoughts.
thanks a lot

John,

MIS said they would have the 2200 UT carts listed on their site in a 
week or so.  I just called and asked for them and the 2200 UT carts 
were available for $10.95 each.  I'm still evaluating prints done with 
the UC inks only, UC inks with the light UT gray, and the full UT 
inkset.  All three approaches will give you very nice B&W prints, but 
if you are planning on doing both B&W and color then just the UC inks 
alone or the one additional UT light gray for smoother highlights would 
certainly be the easiest approach.  I like the tones of the UT inks but 
I also do color with my 2200, so until I get another printer to 
dedicate to the UT inks I will switch my 2200 back to the UC inks when 
I'm through with the current testing and B&W print jobs that I need 
right now.
