MIS FS-FSN blends

2002-10-01 by sceptre12345

Martin, Paul and others

I'm about to dispose of the original Piezo inks because of the 
greenies associated with these inks (CIS - 2/3 full). The FS-N inkset 
that I ordered should arrive this week. 

But now I find out that the FS-N inkset may have a bluish cast while 
the original FS inkset looks green under tungsten lighting. And now, 
to compensate, some people are making the own blends from the two 
inkset.

(Rant should go here)...lol

I've read message 19947 where Paul says that the FSN-K and the FS-K 
are the same. In message 19691, Bob gives us a blending ratio of the 
two inksets but Martin advises about being closer to the FS-N.

So, I'm ready to re-order some FS inks for blending, but I'm no 
chemist and not much of an experimenter. So where should I be going: 
80%-20% evenly across the two inkset ? I have an Epson 1160 with 
Piezo V5.1.3e

TIA,
Andre
