Digital BW, The Print

I think the only problem MIS had was with the 7600 Magenta, but I'm not
sure.  That ink is the only one I've measured that had a higher viscosity
than most of the others, which run in the dye-based printers with few
problems.  I think the GP inkset was formulate to deal with this problem.
However, in the UT7, there is no magenta at all (now), and the viscosities
are all in the range of what the Epson dye printers have been handling fine
for some years now.
