QTR with UT2 on 1280 and favorite papers

QTR with UT2 on 1280 and favorite papers

2006-05-26 by roger98195

Hello everyone,

It's been some time since I've done any B&W printing and I was
delighted to find this group.

If I want to use QTR with MIS UT2 inks on an Epson 1280 should I use
MIS Eboni or MIS PK Photo Black ink?  Also, can I use MIS PKN instead
of MIS PK ink?  

What are the current favorite matte and pearl or low gloss papers
among this group? How does Epson Premium Luster paper compare to
Ilford Smooth Pearl paper?  Are there any curves available for Ilford
Smooth Pearl paper with UT2 inks on the Epson 1280? 

Thanks in advance,

Roger

Hi Roger,

    I use MIS Eboni inks in my 1280 with QTR and I love the Hahnemuhle 
Fine Art Photo rag paper. I am very happy with my results.

Ive been using the 1280/QTR with EBONI, but I have also tried PK as
well..No real difference to my eye..In either case, the prints need to be
sprayed to "level" any gloss diferential....FANTASTIC results on all!!
  I've used EPSON Premium Lustre,  KIRKLAND and EPSON Premium Semi-Gloss
with near-equal results using the "Premium Lustre" curves..MY "best" results
have been on the new CRANE Museo "SILVER RAG" which has been virtually
unavailable in sheets (except for the BETA testing which I was involved
in)..they are telling me
"SOON!"
