A update:  my dealer referred to Hahnemuele and this was the reply -
 "We do not test our products with third part ink manufacturers. We 
only warranty results using original, printer manufacturer inks like 
Epson, Canon etc. We do not have any report for such a problem, 
worldwide, by doing that".


Has anyone tried this paper with UT2 inks, or was it me or is 
everyone scared off?
