Re: [Digital BW] MIS UltraTones for the 2200: questions

2003-07-31 by Shilesh Jani

Paul,

I understand the reluctance to have UT-FS inks for the 2200 printer.  
However, I understand that the UT inks are significantly more 
lightfast than the current FS.  So why not make FS inks with the same 
technology base as UT?

Regards.

Shilesh
