Excellent.  :-)

That should do it.  I'm going to make an inkset that will allow Epson driver
printing easily with the R200, but with QTR, UT7 + FS-Y should be excellent.

Clayton found a paper setting that seemed to give good BO.  My only try did
not make adequate prints.  I'm not sure what paper type Clayton used.  Also,
like with the C86, I suspect the BO quality will be more variable with the
R200 than with the more expensive printers.
