MIS VM Inks with Roark

2003-01-23 by billbs@attbi.com

Just to say that I have had almost no clogging problems in the two years 
or so that I have used MIS VM and other inks in my 1160 with Paul's 
curves.  Many times my printer sits for extended periods of time while I am 
printing color work or out of town.  At this point Piezo has my interest 
peaked with their new inks.  However, the cost of the software and 
increased cost of the inks has slowed me down on that expirement.  I 
would give a big thumbs up to the MIS VM ink set and Paul's curves 
method of making black and white prints.  My customers are very satisfied 
with the results on photorag.  One the other hand, I have yet to see a 
glossy paper that accepts pigment inks without problems of one kind or 
another!  Hope this helps someone during their decision making 
process.
