Ernst is correct! The only way I would be able to get any of these 
inks is to purchase them from the US dealer. Seems they had more than 
enough other beta testers in the US, even though we've heard nothing 
about the results (since the beta period must be passed, they are 
selling them after all). 

Considering the results I'm getting with the Image Specialists 
UltraPro inks, I am in no hurry to buy another ink. I may not be 
getting a dmax of 2 or better on matte papers, but I can turn better 
than a 1.6 on just about everything. The "universal" qualities of the 
Nanochrome black are tempting, but there is at least one paper that 
suggests it can be used with matte or photo black with nearly equal 
results from each ink type. I'll let you know what I think after I 
order some to try.
