CONTINUOUS FLOW SYSTEMS FOR THE R200 & R220
If you are a frequent printer or doing some production work, then we recommend you purchase a MIS Continuous Flow System
for your R200 or R220 printer. This will save you a tremendous amount of money. The cost to operate a CFS is at least 10
times less than using cartridges. If you only print occasionally, then do not get a CFS. If left idle for 3 or 4 days
at a time, CFS units can start to develop problems. Our AUTOPRINT program
(see CFS Page- halfway down) can be used to prevent problems from occuring,
provided the printer and its computer remain powered.

WORKFLOW INSTRUCTIONS
Making Prints with MIS UT-R2 B&W Ultratone Inks on an Epson R200 or R220
Paul Roark has provided detailed instructions on how to use the MIS inks with these printers. The Epson driver
can be used with the R200 or R220 and the output can be adjusted using the printer controls provided by Epson
on the standard driver (Mac or PC). Photoshop can be used as the printing software, but it is not required.
This is what we call the Easy Approach.
For the more sophisticated B&W enthusiast, the R220 can be used with ICC profiles when printed with Photoshop
Elements 4.0 or the full version of Photoshop. Users looking for the very fine details and control will find
what they need with this method. If one wishes to make their own profiles, this can be accomplished with Roy
Harrington's Quadtone Rip and "Create ICC" software along with suitable instrumentation like the Gretag Macbeth
Eye One Photo spectrophotometer.
Both methods produce fantastic looking prints. Follow Paul's recommended settings and paper selections for the
R200 printer
or the R220 printer.
If you choose to use the ICC profile approach, you can download
the ICC files that Paul has created. After you unzip the file, be sure to read the Readme.doc file.

Information about the Inks
If you are using matte paper, then put in an Eboni black cartridge (R2-T0481-K). If you are using glossy or
semigloss paper, put in a Photo black cartridge (R2-T0481-PK). The inks in the color cartridge do not have
to change, they will work on matte or glossy papers.
The Ultratone inks are all extremely archival. Our tests indicate that they will far exceed 100 Wilhelm equivalent years.
The fade resistance data from our Atlas Weather-O-Meter will be published shortly.
Do not mix these inks with other Non Ultratone inks. For refilling or Continuous Flow Systems, you must start with
virgin empty cartridges. Provided this condition is met, no flushing or purging of the printer is needed. One or
two cleaning cycles will remove any color or non Ultratone ink from inside the print head. These inks will not
clog or damage your printer if you follow this advice.
