Digital BW, The Print

John,

MIS said they would have the 2200 UT carts listed on their site in a 
week or so.  I just called and asked for them and the 2200 UT carts 
were available for $10.95 each.  I'm still evaluating prints done with 
the UC inks only, UC inks with the light UT gray, and the full UT 
inkset.  All three approaches will give you very nice B&W prints, but 
if you are planning on doing both B&W and color then just the UC inks 
alone or the one additional UT light gray for smoother highlights would 
certainly be the easiest approach.  I like the tones of the UT inks but 
I also do color with my 2200, so until I get another printer to 
dedicate to the UT inks I will switch my 2200 back to the UC inks when 
I'm through with the current testing and B&W print jobs that I need 
right now.
