Digital BW, The Print

Someone on this site was having difficulty in achieving a truely neutral monochrome print 
with Ultra-Chrome inkset 2200 and the QTR rip. I am about to work with this system next 
week and I was wondering what people have expreienced in this regard?

My limited experience is that QTR--without difficulty--produced quite
adequately
neutral tones 
(with 2200 Ultrachrome/EEM paper) when the provided "cool" and "warm"
profiles 
were used at about 1:1 (50/50). With my printer, 60/40 (cool/warm)
often 
seemed to give the best neutral tone, but YMMV. My advice is to start 
experimenting with QTR using 
the recommended settings and not worry (yet) very much about what
"people" have 
experienced.
