Hi Soren;
Sorry to hear you've had a rough start; I've been using the 
ultratones for about 2 weeks, with no clogging problems whatsoever. 
Quite a relief after all the trouble I had with the 1280 and Museum 
Black. 
 You must have missed my post about pulling the old ink out of the 
system with a syringe; what you went through sounds like absolute 
torture.

The instructions Paul sent me said "photo paper" "no adjustment"
and RGB for color space, with the 7000 driver. Has that been 
changed? (Paul?) I'm getting quite good results, though I could wish 
for even better dmax, but who doesn't. But the tonal range is fairly 
smooth, and there's not much 'grain' that I can attribute to the 
printer. However, at one point I fiddled around with the neutral 
curve in an attempt to get better dmax, and that curve now gives me 
very visible grain in (only!)the 50-55% zone. Which suggests to me 
that the system is quite sensitive to miss-adjustment, so it's 
omportant to get everything right before evaluating it.
 
Regards,

Steve Karafyllakis
