Digital BW, The Print

Hello Chip,

>still a bit skeptical that a system that uses color inks to make B&W 
>can be as good as 6 or 7 gray inks, 

I have seen IP5 prints and they look terrific.  What bothers me about
them is the cyan and magenta inks.  I am not convinced that they won't
fade sooner than the blacks and change the print tone over time.   
Besides the strictly technical question, I have an uncomfortable sort
of "itch" about having the color inks in there.  I'm more comfortable
sticking with pure carbon inks.  In addition, if having no dots is
important then IP doesn't make the grade.  The different colored dots
are easily seen with a loupe.  If I were to spend money on a
"solution" I would want it to be dotless and carbon only.  I haven't
found anything yet to make me part with my money, so I'm sticking with
BO for now.  I'm looking forward to trying UT7 on my 2200.  Bob at MIS
says it should be "soon".


Regards,
Clayton
