Digital BW, The Print

Ernst,

  thanks for your comments. However, I do not share your point of view. Many people in this forum  have been printed  with a converted inkset and without a RIP. An example is MIS UT-R2 Inks with OEM driver. Earlier work from many expert here have used such approach. The trick is to find the right dilutions of blacks. 

As much as I love QTR, I am terrified from building an entire workflow (and a business) around a non commercial product. One day it is gone and you have to make up a new workflow. For us, it took months (certainly less for smarter guys). On the other side, OEM drivers are always supported; you change your printer and only need to change ink dilutions (or a PS curve).
For ultimate tuning, a spectro and QTR-Create-ICC (or Colorvision software) are more than enough.

Ciao,
