RE: [Digital BW] Difference Between UT and UT7 Ink for a 2200

The UT for the 2200 was an inkset MIS made for Bowhaus and the IJC rip.  It
will not run well with the Epson driver.

The UT7 inkset is for the Epson driver or a rip.  It does not usually have a
PK, using the 2 dark grays to generate the black.

I think that is an accurate summary.  The basic ink characteristics should
be the same.  (If there is old stock of one of them, it could have the old
base as opposed to the new base.)
