I'm very happy to see this thread.  I have a recently purchased PFP 
that I've been using very happily to profile my R220 for MISPRO and 
my color papers and will have some time in a few weeks to do my B&W 
R220 for UT-3D, but I have a few questions concerning the UT-3D 
inkset that I have.  

I bought a goodly amount of the UT-3D a number of months ago when I 
believe there were still some issues with the QC of the inkset.  
Essentially I only pulled a couple of prints with the set and then 
had to set it aside until now.  The first was a generic test print 
with a very high tonal range pulled on Epson Enhanced Matte and then 
on Crane Silver rag using Paul's profiles and I was really taken with 
the range and the depth of the blacks.  The second print I pulled was 
a mostly midtone image using the pre-made profiles and I ran into the 
problem of a much cooler than nuetral print.

To make a long story short, do you think profiling with PFP, using 
the method mentioned above with 2.0 (which is still in Beta?) or the 
manual method will get me back to nuetral (and for a project where I 
need very warm prints) with the inkset I have or will I need to 
change some of the inks.  From following this forum I believe I have 
the inkset that went out right at the change of QC methods but proved 
to be problematic with the ready made profiles.  (I have 4oz bottles 
of the 5 inks other than Eboni and PK and I'd like to be able to use 
some or all of them if possible.) I'm perfectly willing to get new 
inks where necessary but I have some logistical problems and 
currently for me, weeks are the norm for orders rather than days and 
that situation will get even worse after December.

Thanks, Robert
