Hi Paul,

As soon as a new bottle of Edwal arrives, I will be mixing and setting 
up Noritsu 2K2LK for my new 1430. I plan on initially trying a mix of 
Noritsu in MIS cartridges for the first four positions and Epson Claria 
cartridges in the yellow and light magenta positions. I'll see if the 
mixed cartridges work in the 1430. It would surely be convenient if this 
mix works. If it doesn't, do you have any suggestions for good bulk 
yellow and light magenta to use in MIS cartridges? I don't plan on 
buying any Noritsu except for the K that I have now and I hesitate using 
MIS dye for this ink set.

Thanks,
Tom Hefter
