     I attempted it, but experienced clogging with the inks and
solarized looking prints with the new UT curves.  I hesitate to even
bring it up, because so many other people have made the switch
successfully that I wonder what happened in my specific case.  But you
asked, so I'd be less than honest if I didn't report it.  I went back to
VM which I'm still very happy with.
     I am paying close attention to your posts and others who are in
similar situations to me, using a digital SLR, and 1280 to print B&W.
Once I feel almost everyone is happy with the UT for some period, I'll
probably try it again and see what happens.

Thanks,
Ed
