Re: [Digital BW] PiezoTones: Are they ready for prime time ?

I am beginning to wonder if there are some environmental issues 
associated with clogging - say low humidity causing drying out in the 
tips of the print heads. I remember when I lived out west, we would have 
the problems with our ball point pen supply. Half of them you would get 
out of the supply cabnit didn't work or you got out this slimy glob of 
ink out the first time you used them. We stopped keeping a large supply 
on hand and ordered smaller numbers more frequently and that seemed to 
help. When I've lived in humid climates, MD, VA and FL, I seldom see 
this - in fact I've never seen it in FL. This had to be a evaporation of 
the water from the ink in the pen tips leaving it thick. Could the same 
thing be impcating injets?
