The very mixed reports on the PiezoTone inks are of great concern.

I am about to set up a CIS with the MIS FSN-K and PiezoTone CMY on an 
1160. I also have some regular FS-K--is that the same formulation as 
the black ink in FSN? I'm thinking of swapping out the PiezoTone Warm 
Neutral black for the regular FS black on another 1160 that already 
has the PT inks installed. Can I just replace the bottles and let the 
change happen over time, or do I need a new cart and flushing of the 
tubing?

Paul? Martin?
