I'm thinking of getting started with a CFS for my 1160 and am trying to determine which inks to use. I want to use the Piezo driver with MIS FS inks (for ink costs), but am hesitating between the FS and FS-N inks. After checking out the step wedges on this site showing the blends and the regular wedges with FS and FS-N inks I've decided that a blend would be a good alternative to the coolness of the FS-N and the warmth of the FS. Now my question is, how will mixing the inks affect the fading of the inks. Paul Roark's 300 hr fade test tells me that the FS-N is way more fade resistant (actually color shift resistant). Will blending 50/50 between the two inks cause a significant color shift in fade tests? Also, which inks need to be blended? Just the 3 greys or does the black ink need to be blended as well? Are the blacks the same in both inksets? Thanks to all of you on this website. You've all been so helpful in answering questions as I get started down this exciting quadtone path! Andy
