QTR-Quadtone RIP

If the Epson PK ink is warm, that may explain the problem. I've just
purchased the Epson 2100, getting good colour results on Ilford Luster
paper and have just invested in a couple of full sets of Epson inks, so
i'm loathe to switch inks at this stage.

I'd be interested to learn more about the UT7 / MIS-PKN inks etc.. - I'm
afraid those terms mean nothing to me!!

I'm confused to your references to profiles. I see no reference in QTR
GUI to profiles, only to curves - even if had a new profile, I wouldn't
know what to do with it!! I use the appropriate printer profile in
QImage for colour printing which as I say, gives good results.

Cheers,
Bernie

I'm the one who wrote the windows version of the QuadProfile program. 
With the previous version of Quadprofile it was impossible to control 
the tone of the black ink. You could only neutralize the Light Black 
using light cyan and light magenta inks.

Since 2.2 it's been possible to also neutralize the black ink using cyan

and magenta, but I don't think anybody has taken advantage of this 
feature yet and created profiles which are completely neutral in the 
shadows. The Epson PK ink is very warm, and I think any profile created 
with the earlier version would be warm at least in the shadows.

I could help you create a new profile, but I use the MIS 7600 
Ultrachrome replacement inks in my 2100 and their PK responds 
differently than the Epson one. Any profile I create with this inkset 
may not work for you. I could still make an attempt of course...

Both issues can be solved by using the UT7 inkset with MIS-PKN ink and 
Gloss Optimizer. This will give you totally neutral prints with no 
bronzing on luster papers. I have profiles for Epson Premium Semigloss 
and Ilford Smooth Pearl.
