I thought that might be the case, and before I went any farther wanted
to make sure....
All I can say without writing a novel and putting conditions on every
other sentence is that those inksets and methods continued to evolve
while the OEMs were trying to catch up.
The change is that the differences between them matter to a smaller
and smaller group of people. But wasn't that always the case, and who
cares?
The mono prints I've seen in the last year or so that are the most
beautiful, including what come out of this shop (which regularly also
does UCK3 mono very well) are with mono ink sets. Also, the
exhibitions I've seen or heard about getting any acceptance have been
the same.

However, clearly the forces are aligning, bundling, etc.. I've never
had so many engineers tell me what I should want my prints to look
like, a very strange phenominon. Very Rumsfeld.
We'll see where it goes, I'll need some exraordinary prints in my hand
with that elusive something special.
That's all I care about. Hell, better then other obsessions I can
think of...
