Gary,
The MIS and Epson OEM ink are not chemically incompatible (their PHs are similar -- 
which is not so for some other 3rd party inks), but you may find the tonal balance is 
thrown off by the darker Epson black. Also, the dye-based Eps black will fade relatively 
more than the FS grays, which will cause more tonal shifting. I'd suggest getting another 
MIS FS-K cart and sending the bad one back to them for a credit -- they're good about 
this.

  Thanks for the note John.  Since it is only my MIS FS black cartridge 
  and print head that is clogged, does anyone know if I can just 
  replace the MIS FS black with Epson OEM black and leave my half-full 
  MIS FS "color" cartridge (which is working perfectly) installed?  Any 
  problem with mixing the Epson OEM black and the MIS FS gray inks?  I 
  sure hope this clears up my black ink print head clogs.  I wasn't 
  looking forward to trying the Windex Direct Injection technique.

  TIA,
