Digital BW, The Print

Chris,

I've been using and liking the UT inks with Paul's curves on my 1280 
very much.  I switched from the VM inks and would like to go to a CIS 
someday.  With the UT ink I get very smooth transitions through the 
entire range.  I'm refilling my carts right now but am not crazy 
about it.  I think it's kind of a pain to do.  If I don't print every 
day or so I might have some clogging which is cleared up with no more 
than two or three cleanings.  Like I said I love the ink and Paul's 
curves but there're a lot of new things developing out there so I'm 
leery about committing to CIS.  Guess I'll keep refilling and trying 
new inks and workflows until I can be sure I have the best.  Which is 
probably never.

I bet I've been no help at all but bottom line for me is the UT inks 
and Paul's curves are the best yet.

Tom
