Jim,
?
Do I understand that you are not using the
ultrachrome inks?? So I'm understanding that you are doing no color
printing with the 2200 but have made it a dedicated b/w printer.? I have
considered doing this with my 1280, but have not gotten around to it.? I
found QTR and was very excited that I could use my UC inks with it--and have
been very pleased.? Since I print some color also--I am interested in those
that are using it as 'dedicated' and those that are using hte UC inks---or
anybody that has tried it both ways.
?

Subject: [QuadtoneRIP] UT7 curves
Hi,
My name is Jim weekes and I have loved QTR
ever since the GUI for it
came out. I need all the help I can get. I have
been a photographer
for 35 years. I had three different studios in Vermont
and managed a
color lab for seven of those years. I also had a darkroom up
until I
got a D30 and saw what Photoshop could do with a HUGE 3
megapixel
file. The chemistry had been getting to me so I have effectively
quit
the darkroom for all but film developing in MF.
I am writing
to see if everyone knows about the UT7 curves for the
2200. I am on the
Digital B&W forum and, at one point, Stephen
Billiard, the author of
the GUI, put out a list of curves for GUI and
UT7 EEM warm and cool were on
it. He immediately said it was a mistake
and that he had published a list
that Roy was working on. Having a
2200 set up with UT7 ink made me write to
Roy and ask. He, very
kindly, sent them to me with a disclaimer that they
weren't finished.
Well, to my eye, with very little tweaking, they make
lovely prints. I
would suggest that anyone with the 2200/UT7 combo give
them a try.
Best, Jim Weekes
