They are selling the MIS VM-sepia.  This needs the curves just like the
standard MIS Vm inkset, and it does not work with the Piezo driver.  I have
formulated the basic FS/Piezo-compatible cyan-position sepia ink.  So anyone
can mix a batch of FS-sepia, but MIS is not mixing and selling it at this
time.

The labor of filling small numbers of carts is very high.  And, as you
pointed out, the inventory problems would be major.  I have heard more than
once that MIS has a problem of insufficient space for more inventory.

If "bulk" ink were available in 2 oz. or 1 oz. bottles, would you and others
be able to fill the carts for testing?  I'm just thinking out loud here to
see if there is a way around this problem.  Any ideas?
