Digital BW, The Print

Colin-

Unfortunately my experience with UC ink is the same...both with QTR 
and Image Print. I mentioned this to the folks at lexjet who 
responded with a bunch of emails from people who love it. I told them 
they were wrong and they asked for some samples of the prints I made. 
When they got them, they emailed me and asked me what I didn't like 
about them !!!! ????

Too bad...the surface feels great and can deal with handling much 
better than HPR, I'm waiting to see what comes from lexjet. They 
indicated they were working with Image Print and "others" to try to 
tweak the profiles.

cheers,

Tom O'Connell
