Digital BW, The Print

Carl,

Yes, they should be the same.  The UT7 LK is supposed to be LK-N.  Something
I saw made me wonder if MIS is shipping standard LK instead, however.  So,
I'd want to verify that.

Yes, and while another thread is concerned with dots under a loupe, for
those interested in glossy paper, less and denser inks usually result in
better prints -- at least with the better printers.  There are going to be a
lot of people simply printing PKN BO with their UC printers that are filled
with color inks.  (It may be that people will be better off with MIS UC
clone color inks if the coated-uncoated transition looks spotty, which it
did on my 7500.)

Probably true.
