Re: [Digital BW] Mild warm inkset for 2200, with smooth print output

2005-11-03 by Howard Shaw

I'm unclear why you are dissatisfied with the UT7 combination you have 
now. I would think you would usually have six jets firing (all except 
LK) to obtain the slightly warm tone you like. Would adding one more be 
worth the effort and risk? Or are there other aspects of UT7 that you 
don't like?
