Re: UT7/7600/Sepia cartridge query

2005-01-13 by sandersnyc

Paul, thanks for the reply.  To complete the thought:  If I install an LC cartridge in place of 
the Sepia, am I correct to assume that the combination will still allow me to print as warm 
as the C86 UT-EZ warm inkset?  I like the pure carbon warmth of that set -- just want to 
make sure I'll still be able to produce that with two LC carts.

Thanks, really, for the advice -- it is invaluable.

Sanders.
