Glad to hear it. I ordered my UT-2 inks on Jan 6 and am eagerly waiting
their arrival.
I too found that I needed to add contrast to my images when using the
original UT inks and Roark's workflow.
+14 seemed to do the trick, although I only tested it with 2 images
before running out of ink.
I imagine the amount could vary depending on the image, but it'd be nice
to be able to create a photoshop action that automatically applies the
contrast just prior to applying a Roark curve.
