No, I'm testing the glop with the MIS UC inks, with the possible 
exception of the LK which may wind up being Epson if it bronzes less 
and coats better. That is what the glop was designed for, and co-
incidentally most of the UT B&W inks are of the same family, so 
it'll work for those if it works for the color UC inks.There are 
(and I have them) refillable MIS carts, and chip resetters; what you 
are perhaps not familiar with is the length of the inklines in a 7x 
medium format printer. Each line and damper holds as much ink as an 
entire 2200 cart, so coming up with a cost effective way to flush 
and change one ink at a time is worth the effort. Daniel Staver has 
offered to help with this, he's on the PC platform, so I'm covered 
on that point, thanks.
