Digital BW, The Print

Paul,

Thanks for the quick response. I've had no response from MIS as yet, so 
I still don't know whether I have UT or UT2 inks. I've not had quick 
responses from MIS earlier as well. Perhaps some of the other members 
can chime in? 

I guess I'll have to get the LK for the 2200 from MIS, then.

I downloaded QTR a couple of days ago. Both my printers show up with 
their Japanese names. I'm a little confused about the Printing Models. Is 
there some place where I can figure out what all the acronyms mean?

Thanks,
Kumar
