Can anyone share their experience of using the experimental UT neutral black ink in an Epson 2200? Thanks
2005-02-13 by Carl Schofield
Excellent! I'm using PKN in both my 2200 and 4000 for printing to RC papers, both BO and with toned profiles created with QTR and IJC/OPM. PKN is the perfect ink for neutral BO printing on RC in a 2200 or 4000. Very high dmax (I've had up to 2.6) and the BO prints exhibit essentially no bronzing.

Thanks for your responses, Carl. This is all new to me. My attempts at B&W printing with the 2200 have been disappointing to say the least. The only clean B&W prints I've had so far, come from my darkroom. (I haven't given up on film yet.) At least I don't get metamerism with silver prints. Does the MIS UTPKN avoid that problem? I've been on the MIS website but it's all a little confusing for the beginner. I'm not new to digital printing, but this is my first serious attempt at black and white. Now, you say you're using RC paper. I happen to be using Epson Premium semi and Velvet right now. I'm assuming I'd have to create profiles for any particular paper I decide to use. Where does one get QTR and IJC/OPM to create these profiles? In your response to my other email, you seem to be saying these can be used to control the Photo black/Matte black and light black inks. What tone is the "carbon" achieved by doing this? Thanks again, peter --- In DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com, Carl Schofield < scho@m...> wrote: > Excellent!

Peter, There is no metamerism with MIS PKN (nor with the Epson PK or MK if used alone for BO printing, but the hue will be quite warm) and the prints are cool/neutral, depending on the paper. You can also avoid metamerism when using the full UC inkset with profiles that use only small amounts of the light inks for toning. QTR is available here: http://www.harrington.com/QuadToneRIP.html and here are some sample images of the print tones: http://www.harrington.com/QTR/UT2-ReadMe.html The IJC/OPM site is here: http://www.bowhaus.com/news/ijcnews.htm Both offer profiles for several paper/ink combinations and you can also make your own. If you print BO then profiles are not required. See Clayton's site for details of the workflow: http://www.cjcom.net/articles/digiprn3.htm Carl

Thanks again, Carl. I've started checking out the URLs and I'll probably start with QTR to see if I have the success that other people seem to be experiencing. It seems to be a no-risk place to begin, and a fair offer by Roy Harrington. I looked at Clayton's work flow, and it is almost identical to my BO workflow. The main issue for me, was that the Epson ink is very warm, and sepia suits only a minor percentage of my work. Hopefully, the cooler tones available through QTR and MIS inks will do the trick. I'm not as enthused by the dots in the highlights as he is... I'll share my experiences once I get things under control. You've been very helpful.
