I take it you've had the chance to try it then. Somewhere I thought I
saw a comment from you that you were getting no increase in Dmax from
it. That comment along with this are of interest. I think any
experiences you have with it would be of great interest here, we have
very little variety of reports so far.

They would be very well advised to do so. Conetech's sales of the
plugin actually went up with the arrival of the alternative MIS
inkset. Many have migrated from the Sundance inks, they'd sell far
more plugins if they supported other inksets. If you are famliliar
with the plugin, you know that there is a dropdown selection box for
inksets, as well as the other one for paper profiles. It seems ready
to go, they should just do it, particularly since it sounds like they
are going to continue to develope it for future OS's.
I think I read they have a forum on their site, interested people
should inundate them with requests for this.
