I posted a short preview of it at,
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint/message/73803

I haven't had time to write up a full "Readme" file on it, and MIS has not
released it yet.  It will be in their next newsletter, I believe.  

The charts at http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/3D-Comparison.htm show the
relative evenness of tones that can be achieved.  

I think the inkset will work on virtually all Epson 6 and 7 ink printers.

With the importance of Crane Silver Rag and the like, the ability to print
on glossy paper with the same dmax as PK even when Eboni is loaded is most
convenient.

When it is initially launched I'd recommend it only to those experienced
with making RGB or rip curves-profiles.  I think those who are
perfectionists will appreciate what it can do.  Those who are not
technically oriented probably ought to stick with the other existing
inksets, at least until there are curves and ICCs available.  It will print
in an "EZ" mode with no profiles, but that is not the point of the inkset at
all.  More control, not less, is what I'm after.

Additionally, it will not print sepia, so those who like to print that warm
should stick to UT2 or UT7.  

The inkset is basically a way to get control of both the Lab a* and b* axes
within a narrow B&W neutral zone from carbon to cold to mild selenium.  I'll
be posting graphs that show the ink ranges soon.

Hope that helps a little.
