Digital BW, The Print

Hello,

I'm very pleased with my R220 and UT-R2 EZ inks. Far better than Ilford 
Multigrade out of the box, no complex settings...

I was wondering if there is an equivalent with an A3 printer for bigger 
prints ? This EZ principle is really great, I work in IT and when I'm 
doing photography I just want to care out photography, no IT stuff!

Thanks,

FRançois

François,

I have not tested it, but I think the R2 inkset is rather a universal one of
Epson hextone (and above) printers.  That is, it will probably work very
well in the 1280-90 and even the 2200 (with an LK thrown in).

Previously the UT-FS & FSN were set up as easy systems for the Epson A3
hextone printers.  The benefit to the FS approach is that the light inks are
a bit lighter.  The negative is that the inks require a monotone curve (a
number are pre-made), a transfer function (the curves just mentioned will
usually work here also), or, now, an ICC (which a scanner can make with
Roy's Create ICC).  At the moment, only the FS inks can be purchased
pre-loaded for the Epson hextone A3 printers.

Hope this helps.
