Re: [QuadtoneRIP] Re: QTR Printing in color from a B/W photo ?

'UT' probably stands for UltraTone and is an inkset available from MIS 
(I think). All the inks in the set are black, grey, or lightly toned. 
Since you got vivid colours, I guess you are using the standard inks for 
your printer. Also, PK stands for Photo Black which is for glossy paper 
- I think Moab Somerset Velvet is a matt paper (We don't have the Moab 
range here, so I'm guessing its similar to the 'Somerset Velvet' paper I 
can get here) - if it is, you should be using one of the MK curve sets

Looking at the list of curve files that are in the QTR distribution file 
for the 2200, I'd suggest trying the UC-EEnhMatte curves or one of the 
other UCmk- curves to see how they work out.
