Norm, No. You could make it work, but, it is not advised because the print hue will change in a few hours, and continue to do whacky things in days, months, and years to come.

O.K., now I'm confused. Does this hold true for any printer? I use a 2200 with MIS Ultrachrome 7600 color inks. Are you saying that QTR only works with MIS b/w inks? I just started using QTR and I have to say its been working great for my b/w printing. Thanks, Jake Fine Art Photography www.jakehellbachphoto.com <http://www.jakehellbachphoto.com/> _____

QTR can work with ANY ink set so long as you control the ink jets correctly. In my experience the MIS Ultrachrome 7600 colour inks are stable (and I understand they have a longevity equivalent or better than the Epson UC inks). Up until very recently I had the same set up as you (albeit a 2100). With good curves this does ok. Moving to dedicated B&W inks (I still use the MIS 7600 UC inks for colour in the same 2100) and introducing glop so that you can print effectively to RC papers will give you another huge jump forward.

Thanks, I do have a Epson 1270 with dedicated MIS b/w inks, but it decided to have some head clogging problems that I still can't resolve so I moved to the QTR on my 2200 to get some work out. Actually, so far I like the QTR with the 2200 better anyway. Jake Fine Art Photography www.jakehellbachphoto.com <http://www.jakehellbachphoto.com/> _____

I can highly recommend the new refillable cartridges for the 21/2200 from MIS. You can then buy inks in bulk and switch ink setups relatively easily. My CFS now sits in a heap in the cupboard. With glop, printing to RC paper is now a practical reality.
