Jerry,

Agreed! Especially in your situation you need to get confirmation 
from the manufacturer. As you say the time, money and lost production 
to correct an error by adding the wrong ink doesn't bear thinking 
about! Any unexpected change in labeling or identification should be 
carefully investigated.

Lot-to-lot variation with the papers is bad enough and annoying when 
the changes are obviously deliberate and no notice is given.

With ink production some variation is probably unavoidable, like 
changing emulsion number with silver paper. The new wrinkle here is 
that with CIS we are adding the new batch into the old batch a bit at 
a time so we may see a slow drift in tone rather than a sudden change.
