Digital BW, The Print

Great new Paul,I'll certainly be waiting.
As for the second question,so it IS not an awful idea to go straight with
the MIS inks rigth? As I still have ink in bottles here (VM and the warm FS)
I can use it for a while,making tests and so until the new inks are
out...then I just replace the bottles and purge the lines,right? And if
anything goes wrong I can always use the color dyes to check...

In a week or so there will be a new UT-FSN that will have the longevity of
the UT family (and run on glossy paper with Photo K).  Please don't call MIS
about this until I announce the availability.  I have written new curves for
the 1160 and 3000.

I hear both sides of this.  If you do use the dyes first, I recommend
cleaning the pads before using Eboni.
