MIS inks recieved - now what do I do?

MIS inks recieved - now what do I do?

2004-01-21 by ckayakman

I have recieved the MIS ARC T007 UTK(Eboni black) and ARC T009 QUT 
cartrages for my 1280.  I Assume the T009-QUT is  5 shades of grey, 
the label seems somewhat misleading in that it says "5-Color".  Are 
these the UT2 inks I thought I was ordering? Is anything other than 
inserting the cartrage and converting to grey scale (photoshop CS) 
and printing necessary?  Any suggestions on workflow appreciated.

Thanks for any help.

The T009-QUT appears to be the original ultratone cartridge.  
Looking at the website and what I ordered is the T009-UT@.  As far 
as workflow is concerned I tried converting to grayscale and the 
results were very good.  I then used the workflow on Rourkes pages 
converting the grayscale image to RGB, 16 bit and used his curves 
and the results were MUCH better.  On glossy paper I also used the  
2880 setting in the epson driver which also improved the shadows 
tremendously.
