Paul: do you/MIS have any plans to port the UT-2 inkset and workflow 
to wide-format printers?  (I know you've said you're looking at doing 
it for the 4000, but I'm wondering about wider format, like current 
(or older) printers in the 44 inch range).

I ask because I'm considering getting a wide-format printer w. a 
grayscale inkset, and don't want to spend a zillion dollars on an RIP 
(e.g., the Septone system for the Epson 7600/9600 costs $2400 because 
you have to buy their RIP to use the inks).  Alternatively, if you 
don't envision the UT-2 inkset going the wide format route, any input 
on carbon-based wide format inksets that don't require the use of an 
expensive RIP?
