Digital BW, The Print

I called MIS tech support today. They insisted that the cartridge I 
got is universal black and should work for both matte and glossy 
papers. They allow me to exchange for PK black. Keith, you are right. 
The UPK from the Ultra-Tone category is interchangeable for the GP 
black ink. At this point, I have to conclude that the universal black 
is not a satisfactory compromise to glossy paper. Will see how well 
the UPK ink will do on the luster paper and will update in this 
newsgroup.
