Re: MIS VM versus FS

2002-08-02 by jrandall1149

Andy:

No difference in image quality between FS and FS VM inksets.  FS VM 
as the name implies allows variable toning from warm to cool with the 
inkset.  The FS family of inks (FS and FS-N, and FS-E for hex 
printers) do not have this flexibility.  If you like the ability to 
vary the tones from warm to cool on your 1160, then stick with the 
VM.  If you try one of the FS inksets and you like the specific tone 
it generates, then FS might be the inkset for you.  Also note that 
some folks blend FS and FS-N to get just the right tone they are 
looking for.
