QTR-Quadtone RIP

Sorry, I mean 'curve' when I say 'profile'. People sort of get confused 
no matter which terms we use. Some people expect something called a 
'curve' to be a photoshop curve while others expect a 'profile' to mean 
an ICC-profile only.

All the Epson black inks are warm, but the PK particularly so. The Epson 
MK ink isn't as warm so this tends to be less of a problem with matte 
curves. Like I said, I think the problem can be fixed by creating new 
curves for QTR using the latest version fo Quadprofile where 
neutralizing the black with other inks is supported.

The MIS UT7 inkset is a dedicated grayscale inkset with toner inks that 
allow you to make prints ranging from cool neutral to strong sepia.

MIS-PKN is a Photo black ink designed to be neutral in tone and to give 
great DMAX on glossy and luster papers:

The MIS Gloss Optimizer is basically a coating filled in a catridge. 
It's used to eliminate bronzing and can be found here:

To eliminate bronzing without switching inksets you can try to spray 
with PremierArt Print Shield. You can find it on this page:
