I think Paul wrote a short piece in one of his papers about making sure you have 
plenty of ink before you start the printing process. Keep in mind that if you 
work in the tradition of working prints you will print several times before you 
are satisfied. Eveything is on track and all of a sudden there very odd missing 
tones or splattering. Check your ink levels. When everything else fails common 
sense, check the cartridges.

Phillip: Thanks for that tip. I haven't received my MIS carts yet but I will 
keep that in mind down the road.
