Hi Eric,

I just changed my 1280 from MIS' CFS to the spongeless carts using UT 2 inks. I also 
switched the sepia ink to the lightest full-spectrum gray ink... but used the warmer ink 
(UT- FS-Y).

I was suprised how light the ink is compared to the next lightest gray ink. Do you find an 
improvment in the highlights as the orginal 1280/ UT2 ink set did an admiral job to begin 
with.

I'm going to build a few profiles using a scanner as I don't have a densitomer yet. But I was 
wondering if you could email me any profiles with the new light gray to get me in the 
ballpark?

I'm on a Mac.

Best,

John V.
