Digital BW, The Print

Hello Paul

Thanks very much for the information. I've got the VM inks in my 1270's 
CIS right now and it sounds as if I'd be better off just waiting until 
they run out and then upgrading to the UT inks.

But, just in case I should get adventurous, do you have any suggestions 
as to what spray may work best with the VM inks ?

Thanks
Tim
