I posted a similar message a while back but got no response. MIS lists the Easy BW UT system for the C82, C84 & C86 Epson Printers ... but in New Zealand the nearest printers I can find are the C87+ and the R230.

I asked MIS if these printers would be supported but also got no response.

Does *anyone* know if these printers are likely to be compatible with MIS UT inks at some stage?

thanks,
Richard
