Re: UT-3D ink configuration for R220, R1800 and R2400

2006-11-23 by Jamie Creed

Hi Joost,

thanks for the reply, guess I should have given a bit more info; I 
intend to be using QTR and an X-Rite Pulse Spectro.

I'm curious about your mention of the LK ink being idle when using 
QTR (have you produced your own curves for UT-3D with QTR?)
