Scott, if you aren't printing with QTR, I'd be interested in knowing what you are using for printing.

  My 4000 B&W prints are constantly mistaken for darkroom prints by printing experts.  The 
  tone in cold though, which I like.

Hi Diane,

I'm using the 4000 with the Std driver and UC inks.  Took a bit of getting there but now it 
just runs without any special tricks or adjustments.  No metamerism that I see and no 
color cast; is a very cold black.

I will be working with QTR to see if I can get "better than perfect"  :)

My first QTR prints with the cool curve were way too warm, and I had to get prints out.

We have had a discussion on the QTR group about modifying curves to make them cooler, 
etc.  When the present crunch is over I will give it another go.

I am not so interested in the toning, but to make sure that I can't get even better shadow 
detail, etc.  Though my first thought is that I very happy now.
Scott

You know, my interest in QTR was to hopefully find something that 
(a) printed netural on glossier papers (it doesn't) and (2) 
something that would give me a neutral print on papers other than 
Epson (it does do this).

I was getting color casts with Epson driver prints on EEM until I 
made sure that I selected the proper paper in the print space before 
printing.  After that, abosolutely black and white.
