Digital BW, The Print

André,

I've done it, but I've also heard people warn that one should be sure the
printer works with the OEM dyes first.  The most persuasive argument I've
heard in favor of this is that the machines have some preservative substance
in the head that is best cleaned out by Epson dyes.  (My impatient view was
that I'll load the OEM after the inks I want don’t appear to work.)

Don't mix the new and old inks in a CIS.  If you are using carts, then there
is not incompatibility.  With a CIS you'd want to replace the cartridge part
of it whenever switching inks.

>...will the UT-2 print well with the 1160, on matte and luster paper
>(changing the black, of course)?

No, the UT2 inkset will not work in quads like the 1160 and 3000.  It is
strictly a modern hextone inkset.

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.
