Digital BW, The Print

The standard MIS GP black for 1270/1280 cartridges was,  AFAIK, the same 
as the Eboni Black.. although, I do see where on another page 
<http://www.inksupply.com/index.cfm?source=html/arcgpcarts.html> they 
say the standard black with the GP Inks is the Universal Matte Black.. 
aggghghh!

They really need to standardize the part numbers to eliminate 
confusion.. You're not the ONLY one going through this, my head is 
beginning to hurt whenever I start ordering pre-filled black 
cartridges.. They even say on the GP page to pay close attention to the 
lettering of the black cartridges, but then go on to not use that 
lettering system for the pre-filled 1280 series GP cartridges... sheesh!

I would really prefer that they simply use the same part number and 
lettering system for all the UT/GP blacks..

In any case,  the photo black cartridges should work best on 
Glossy/Luster papers..

In any event, we now see what Paul was indicating about them needing to 
consolidate offerings and (IMHO) standardize the product SKU numbers..

You may well have gotten Universal Black in the cartridges, although the 
bronzing would indicate elsewise.  The best thing is to call MIS 
directly and sort this all out..

I've also got some MIS GP K cartridges ready to go..  It'll be 
interesting to see which black they are, as I already have the UT K and PK.
