Thanks, I assume that is the same person I emailed, he was listed on
the OCP site as the US regional sales rep.

I went straight for an email because it seemed most appropriate this way.

Not your fault, just their loss.

Thanks but I'm moving on to other choices. I have a FREE dye and FREE
pigment inkset to test, as well as the Claria (again) and the inks
that come with the CIS which are supposed to be better than many of
the replacement dye inks (but still not archival). That's a lot of
junk to keep track of to watch and measure every XYZ number of days.
Hopefully I'll find something really good that will make a good place
to start for a monochrome set. Starting to wish the Spectrolino/scan
was a faster machine (but it is kind of fun to watch), it is easier
and smaller than anything I can produce for an i1 or Pulse.

I may also print some targets on nondescript office type multifunction
paper just to see what happens. Let's face it, that is really what
this particular RX680 is destined to use the most, so I might as well
test some to see what happens.
