[Digital BW] Re: UT or FS for a 1200

2003-11-19 by Keith R.

If you were running epson inks in your 1200, they most likly were dye 
based inks. Dye based inks, no matter who makes them, are still dye 
based. Someone may correct me, but I believe that all epson inks, 
other than the new Ultrachromes, and possibly the Durabright, are dye 
based.
