That's the one reason I'm kinda hanging back - I got the posterization with
the old VM inkset on an 1160 and never did resolve it - I switched to the FS
inks instead.

I'd be interested to know if anyone who experienced the posterization in the
VM inks and switched to the Ultra-tone set has found it was either resolved
or carried over?
