Is the MIS UT-FSN inkset a good match for both the:

The old Cone software RIP (activated within Photoshop) and the new 
Cone B&W ICC profile software (uses Epson Driver).

I have an unused 1160, so the mix up on the 6 ink printers is not a 
problem (between these two versions of software).

Does the "photo black" used in this set really allow you to use 
glossy stocks with great results.

Enjoy!   Lon

No luck with a response to my original question (below) so I thought 
I would break it into parts so hopefully someone can help.

Can the MIS UT-FSN inkset (with the "eboni" black) be easily used 
with the Piezopraphy ICC profiles on an Epson 1160 (possibly using 
the Selenium Portfolio ICC profiles).

Has anyone tried this and is it a viable and easy to use workflow?

Enjoy!  Lon

Hello Lon,

Not exactly an answer either, but I do use the MIS-FSN with the 
Piezography ICC profiles and the results are outstanding.I have been 
told the UT2-FSN work like the FSN but are much more archival. It's 
also my understanding the FSN inkset will be discontinued at some 
time in the near future, so I may be doing like you and trying the 
UT2-FSN inkset. I've just gotten my workflow set up just right for 
the FSN inks and now a change is in the wind, that's life.

Your friend in Photography,

Johnny

Lon,

I've used this combination in an 1160 with very good results.

The densities of the Piezo and UT-FSN inksets are fairly well matched, so
they should print much the same.  However, every inkset absorbs into the
paper slightly differently, so there could be minor differences.  I have not
tried the ICC approach.

I don't think the 1160 is capable of really great glossy results.  It's just
a matter of its age versus the 1280 and 2200.
