Digital BW, The Print

Hi Roy
Any idea when this update might be posted? not trying
to be pushy i guess i'm just excited. now that
ultatone carts for the 2200 are available it opens up
a new world. i also use a 1200 dedicated to black and
white that i am currently getting set up in QTR so
that's gonna take a bit of time. but i am feeling more
and more that my 2200 is going to replace the 1200 as
it simply prints better than the 1200.
Thanks
john e
