Digital BW, The Print

Paul:

I'm sort of a newbie with this group.  I'm trying the EZN inks with a
C84 as a testbed to see if I want to eventually use UT7 inks with my
2200 for dedicated B&W printing.  If I did that, I'd retire the C84 to
other uses and perhaps purchase an 1800 for color work.

I'm confused about your role with MIS.  Do you work with the company
as a part of their R&D?  I'm also confused about the proper settings
one should use with MIS inksets.  For instance, with EZN, the printer
settings per MIS are different from the ones you recommend. 
Naturally, I'm less concerned with the EZN setup, but if I go with UT7
inks, I would like to know that whatever information I am receiving is
consistent and true to proper B&W printing.

You input and feedback is appreciated.

Robert Ades
