These are the UT1 toners. The basic components are the same, but they have a much lower density and higher gamut. That is, less carbon and relatively more color pigment. Chemically, they are compatible. One reason I moved to the more dense UT2 inks is that the UT inkset required more volume of ink on the paper for a given level of image density. This caused spots on some glossy papers due to overloading the paper. So, if you plan on printing glossy papers, you're better off with the UT2 densities. If the bottles are the same price, you also get more prints per dollar with denser inks. (Light ink = expensive water; more light ink also = more bronzing; use the darkest set of inks the printer can handle and give the smoothness you want.) Paul www.PaulRoark.com
