RE: 2200 inkpositions from Daniel Staver

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the info. It looks like I'm going to try the Ultratones--probably
the carts first and then a cis.

What kind of cis are you using? Niagara?

You could get a cheap older mac to run IJC... but you might talk to Bowhaus
and see when they think the PC version will be out.
