The UT-3D can also do it with one modification. In their standard configurations for the Epson driver the UT7 has sepia (Y position), but the UT-3D uses that position for a necessary ink to control the Lab a* axis. So, in the standard Epson driver configuration the 3D inkset gives up sepia for more control. (I do not recommend the sepia toner in the Y position. It might be that you could control the inkset, but it would have more than the minimum color pigments in it. So, it would not be as lightfast -- which is another reason the 3D inkset does not contain the sepia toner. I'm going to work on an R800 red - carbon blended ink for that spot when time permits in an effort to make a more lightfast, acceptable sepia.) What can be done with the UT-3D and the rip like QTR, however, is to use the LK spot for the sepia toner. (UT7 and UT2 sepia are the same and would work fine.) The UT-3D M ink does double duty as a PKN and cool toner. So, with the carbon C position ink the glossy 100% black spot for glossy papers is well covered in the standard arrangement. (I've made at least one curve for the PermaJet Fibre Based Gloss, UT-3D and 2200 -- it works well.) Paul www.PaulRoark.com
