Digital BW, The Print

Yes, any modified UT14 setup will continue to work on the 1400.  (In fact,
I assume I'll probably set it up on one of my 1400 printers.)  The idea for
the "UT1430" name is just my concept at this point.  The intent is just to
have a different name so that the curves & profiles would not get confused.
 MIS used to have a size (number of characters) limit on its product
coding.  So, I am neither sure this will happen nor the name or product
codes that will be used.  I do think, however, the market needs a third
party ink like UT14, but I'd like to see a change in the ink arrangement.
 I think the additional smoothness from an additional neutral ink would be
more useful than the glop.
