I used UT7 for about 2 years in my 2200.  Great prints using the profiles/tones on the MIS 
website.  But they got unreliable, the UT7 carts that is.  I'd be in the middle of a session 
and all of  a sudden the Mag. cart would stop working/spraying.  It wasn't empty.  Anb OE 
cart worked fine, try another UT7 cart, no spray.  Other times no matter what I did the 
printer wouldn't recognize the cart.  I was annoyed that the QC was so poor that paper 
spacers were recommened as the fix.

To make a really long story short I did every trick I could find from sources here and MIS 
help desk.  We never knew why the UT7s would give up BUT work the next day (maybe).  

I think it is my 2200 showing it's age.  For my print habits and schedules  the continuous 
feed system was a no go.

Anyway I got  QTR.  I use it with the OE Epson inks.  Easy to get, always and I mean always 
work no matter how long the printer sits.  No problems and I print instead of ^&*(ing 
around with windex and 4 dozen extra carts.

My 2 cents.

BTW did you grow up in CT?  If your name is as it looks Scott Citron I knew one 40yrs ago.
