Hi Bernie,
Take a look at this post from Paul yesterday on the DBWTP group:
"Depending on what tones you prefer, you can set up the yellow
position with the default sepia (slider printing range is slightly
warm), a second light carbon UT2-LM (prints neutral on Enhanced Matte
with sliders at 0), or put in gloss optimizer for bronze-less glossy
printing on Kirkland glossy paper.
See my Readme at .
Have fun.

Two points there for you -- one is to consider changing out the
yellow for more neutral printing if your not doing Sepia prints, the
second is the "favored paper" these days for minimal bronzing seems
to be the Kirkland Glossy -- and with GLOP in the yellow position and
Paul's curves, word is that the bronzing is all but non-existent.
Some say it's completely gone.
But then, you don't have Sepia capability, are on glossy paper
(rather than semi-glossy/pearl), size is limited to 8X10 unless the
groundswell gets big enough to convince Costco to import a larger
size, and lastly, you MAY have to use GLOP in the yellow position
(some say no, Paul recommends it).
Hope this helps. Should get you a more neutral print if nothing else
by changing out the yellow position -- but then, Paul's reference and
Web page will explain it much better than I can ;>)
All the best,
Richard

Hi,
I'm not very pleased with the neutrality (and bronzing) of my
black
and
white prints using QTR RIP / Epson 2100 / Ilford Smooth Pearl paper.
Does anybody have any curves that might help or any other advice.
The
settings I use in QTR Rip are:-
Media Type: Premium Luster Photo Paper
Curves: UCpk-EPPremSemiGloss-cool 50 UCpk-EPPremSemiGloss-cool
Tried a few of the other built in curves, but the above seems to be
the
best.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Bernie
