I did John, right when the Piezo inks came out. As well as the
Lysonic 
inks. I think it's important to try to avoid implying any of these 
products are inferior based on our entry level tests that may wind up 
being totally irrelevant. Non of us are scientists, Wilhemn's current 
dilemma implies it's nearly impossible even if you are a scientist.
I learned my lesson a while back when I screamed loud and clear 
because all my MIS prints turned reddish after a few weeks,
suggesting 
the inks were very unstable. I quickly moved away from them as soon
as 
other alternatives became available. This was before Piezograghy.
As we know now, they are probably stable after the initial shift, so
I 
may have done some irresponsible damage, the internet lets us do that.
We need to be careful around here. My methods and chosen materials
are 
best for me right now, and me only.
It doesn't need to be turned in to a dogma to try and sell everyone.
