Alas.  I called MIS to see about ordering a UT2 inkset for the 7600 and the woman 
there said they don't support the 7600 or sell 7600 UT2 cartridges.  Any idea if/when 
that might change?

Could you elaborate on why/how Semimatte differs from Semigloss from the 
perspective of curves/profiiles?  I preferred the smoother surface of Semigloss, and 
rashly bought a roll.

I appreciate this, and my question was too terse.  If you were setting up a virgin 7600 
to print B+W fine art photographs for sale in galleries, and you weren't worried about 
printing color on the machine, what inks and papers and workflow would you choose?  

Thanks, as always, for your thoughts.
