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.
