Re: UK Print Exchange-to compare different systems.

Yes definitely interested as I am in a similar situation as 
yourself.  I am currently using Permajet VT Blax onto either Epson 
Archival Matte or Folex Duo.  However I am running into problems 
which affects only certain prints with the tones not being properly 
rendered when printing with the colour cartridge; if I use black only 
then the tones are there properly (albeit not to the same clarity) 
but I don't have the polarisation that seems to happen with the 
colour cartridge.  Paul R was very helpful in trying to nail the 
problem but I could not find out what it was (Paul, the head did 
clean eventually).

I am now trying to re-profile my papers using the Epson colour inkset 
so that I can use glossy paper too. 

Count me in, my mail is at the top or you can get me through my 
website below.
