Well that is some relief Doug, thanks for the info - how are your 
prints looking?  When my nozzles were not choking I did try some step 
wedges - the curves I have don't seem to suit the new inks.  The 
prints on glossy paper were literally blue in the midtones.  Have you 
compared prints to the old VM?

Thanks
