I hope the UT2 inkset shows the same improvement.  I did test the new LM and
LC, and they show the same improvement.   I have not been able to test the
dark UT2 and UT7 grays, but I'll be working with similar dilutions soon and
see how they look.  I expect the same improvement.  (I'll test the UT7 as
soon as I figure out how to get my 7600 running again -- or pay the big
bucks probably needed for fixing it.)

So far, from what I've seen, I'm just assuming the improvements will be
across the board.  Not all papers will benefit equally, but I think there
will be enough that do that we'll be in very good shape when it comes to
"glossy" paper printing.
