UT-3D and GLOP

2006-07-30 by Daniel Staver

My UT7 inks are running low and I need to order more ink soon. I'm
wondering whether I should order more UT7 inks or switch to UT-3D.

I occassionally make glossy prints using GLOP in the yellow position. I
like that I can use all the regular curves and ICC profiles, except the
sepia ones, with this setup. I also like that I can print both matte and
glossy prints without switching inks.

Is there any possibility of doing this with the UT-3D inkset, or would I
have to use the LK position and QTR to do this?

Although the UT7 inks are very good on glossy papers already, I still find
that GLOP gives a big improvement in quality on many pictures - especially
those with very bright highlights where the gloss differential is
significantly reduced.

I use the Epson driver a lot because I can print twice as fast with the
same quality as QTR. On the other hand, I use QTR when I need greater
control.

I've already made many curves and ICC profiles for the UT7 inkset, so I'm
a little bit reluctant to switch now that I have good workflows for most
of the papers I use.
