Re: Dedicated 2100 and ink choice

2006-07-29 by Shilesh Jani

I would follow Paul's recommendation here:

http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/UT-3D_Readme.pdf

Except, I would replace the LK ink with PK. You will need to fill 
this ink position yourself. An even better option is to fill this 
position with Epson OEM K3 PK ink, sucked out of a 4800 cart. It will 
give you much better Dmax on glossy (RC) papers.

In summary, your inks will be: (1) Eboni for matte, (2) PK for 
glossy, (3) C of UT-3D, (4) LC of UT-3D, (5) LC of UT-3D, (6) LM of 
UT-3D, and (7) Y of UT-2 for the sepia toner. Using QTR and a 
densitometer, you should be able to print on all paper types with 
tones ranging from cold to sepia.

Good luck.
