I actually accidentally discovered an excellent profile for the Silver Rag on the 4000 with the UC inks. I had printed a shot with Hahn. Photo Rag. I switched all the settings -- ink to Photo Black, used Premium Glossy as the paper type, but forgot to switch curves from Photo Rag cool Selenium. I ended up with a really beautiful B&W print -- very rich, good detail, very neutral. The Silver Rag, at least on my printer, is very cool/blue -- not to my liking. You might try it on the Silver Rag and see your results.
