Digital BW, The Print

Hi Paul and Alex,

Happy Holidays and I hope you don't mind my chiming in here...

Paul, are you working on any UT formulations and/or curves for the 
Epson 2000? On the latest MIS pages I don't see any mention of their 
ink plans for that printer. Bulk ink availability would be fine...

Thanks very much for any info you might have or be willing to 
speculate on ;>)

Regards,
Richard
