Eileen, did you get the entire set of ultratones, or just the eboni
black? If you order the 4.3 version of MIS VM inks, are you getting ultratones?

Anyone know the difference between the two inks on the actual finished print?

I did let the printer set for 3 days, but the banding problem was worse
than ever. I'm trying a new set of carts and inks now, and we'll see
what happens. Reinstalling the OEM color inks took ALL the banding and
clogs away.
