Re: [Digital BW] WHEN will we get clog-free printing?!

Like Jerry, clogs just are not a problem for me either. I've used MIS
VM inks in carts and currently using MIS FSN inks in a MIS CIS. 

It may be humidity dependent. I live in FL where the humidity has
never been below 60% even inside in the winter with the heater
cranking. But then I think Jerry lives in North Dakota.
