Digital BW, The Print

Hi Paul,

In my experience with UT inks in my 1160 I actually had the most clogging
issues with the grays cartridge. The Eboni black never seemed to be an
issue. But, as you say I think it's a humidity issue and, maybe, related to
the manufacturing disparities within each unit.
