Digital BW, The Print

> Hope you can help.
> I have the C88 and EZ inks. But I cannot get a good print on ILford
> smooth pearl or epson semigloss. I don't have the ability to make ICC
> profiles,so have been experimenting with other profiles or letting
> printer determine colors. Have followed Paul's instructions for C86.
> Matte papers are fine. Glossy Papers mostly come out light with very low dmax. Did
> try one setting for another paper and it dumped so much ink on the
> paper, it looked like a cloud! It was a QTR-c88 profile.
> Can you suggest something please?
> Thanks
