Digital BW, The Print

I'm looking forward, Clayton, to the follow-up on your article. My
preference -- and I think many may follow this route -- is to let the
paper I'm using "tone" the print rather than us toners directly.
Ideally, I'd like to use an inkset that is neutral, fade-resistant,
that prints with good midtone separation and smooth (relatively)
dotless highlights. I've been reasonably happy with the results on my
2200 using the UC inkset and QTR, but I can see room for improvement
in smoothness and dot reduction in highlights. I'll be reading your
next installment on UTx3.
