Digital BW, The Print

Sorry to hear that Ed. I'm hoping it's the opposite for me. I'll be 
getting my 3rd printer and thought I would try the UT set to see if I 
can get something different than what I have been. One thing, are you 
using the Eboni black or a different black in the UT set? As I 
understand it the Eboni is made for only matte stock. 

PS. I would really like to do that exchange we talked about before, 
but haha, I haven't had the best of luck getting a functioning 
printer.
