RE: [Digital BW] UT7 or UT-3D?

Hi Paul,
thanks for your feedback.

I currently use QTR and UC inks which also means that the yellow position is not used ... no problems so far.

I was under the impression that you could print on matt or glossy with Eboni-based ink sets. Can you explain please?

Thanks for all the help and support you give to the rest of us - I don't know how you find the time.

Richard
