EPSON ULTRACHROME PRINTERS 

AND THE TINT PICKER

 

IMAGE

PRINT

 

allows you to produce both high-quality color 

and grayscale images using the 7-color Ultrachrome inks 

found standard on the 2200, 7600 and 9600 Epson printers. To 

make best use of this capability the proper profile is essential. 

Most important the profile must match the type of black ink 

- Photo Black or Matte Black that is loaded in your printer. 

This mismatch is the typical culprit in unsatisfactory results.
