>Is it supposed to be true for the new UT-FS that`s coming?


The UT1 and UT-FS cannot print as well on glossy paper without Photo K as
can the UT2.  However, with the right paper (Ilford Galerie Smooth and Epson
Premium line (except Semimatte)), a dmax of over 2.0 is possible just with
the UT cyan (dark gray).  So, with Eboni in the printers curves can be
written that make glossy prints.  I can't guarantee how good the curves and
images will be, however.  I can't imagine the 3000 will cut it with glossy,
but I'll try it later.  (I have UT-FSN in mine now.)
