Given Wilhelm's notes and preliminary numbers there can't be much 
difference to the first UCs. But the gloss is better according to Joseph 
Holmes. The speed can be reduced to get gloss differential better he 
writes but the 4800 is already faster than the 4000 and certainly much 
faster than the 9600 so that's hardly the way to achieve that result. I 
guess the pigments are the same but there's a media change (glop added 
or whatever without sacrificing Dmax). He also describes some hue shifts 
for CM in the new inkset. He seems to be more familiar with the 10000CF 
than the first UC models but he must know what he is writing about.
