Robert, can you explain this a little more ?

The UltraTone is MIS product, right, avaliable from inksupply.com ?

So you'd simply replace UC yellow with an UltraTone for B&W ?
But you'd still have to swap out Epson_MK and Epson_PK for glossy
versus matte papers, right ?  What does the UltraTone buy you
that you can't just get from the normal UC load ?  (All this is
assuming OPM/IJC).

Thanks, John
