Digital BW, The Print

Hi Roy,

It looks like there is some genuine confusion going on here with the 
terminology. Have a look at this page on the MIS website, about 
halfway down where under the UT7 heading:

http://www.inksupply.com/index.cfm?source=html/bwpage.html

As you can see, it clearly groups the Bowhaus config under UT7, 
whereas judging by your message below and many of the discussions in 
this group, it seems that most people regard UT7 as being Paul's 
inkset only. Maybe it's worth asking MIS to amend the page?

Thanks for the detail on the use of Paul's UT7 mix with QTR. As I 
said, I'm really just hedging. Probably the smartest move for me 
right now would be to purchase a set of UT7 cartridges and if I'm not 
happy then I can try your inkset in another set of cartridges before 
committing myself to a CFS system, which would be the eventual idea.

Cheers,
