You have written about it but I got the idea it was about the MIS 7600 
inks. That most of the UC clones have the same background isn't new so I 
didn't bother to check it further.  I asked MIS today specifically what 
the difference was between the MIS 7600 and the Pro Archival. The answer 
was: the new MIS PRO ink is more compatible when compared to the Epson 
inks.I have enclosed A link below that has lots of info on the new 
formula as well.

Which is the link we already had.

However if you read the MIS 7600 information next to the Pro Archival 
information then there's hardly any difference to find. I tend to think 
that the better compatibility is in the name they gave it: Pro Archival 
suits the total range of Pro printers better than MIS 7600.
