Michael,

Many thanks for the information and experiences you have posted. I hope I
did not give the impression I was doing VM and Roark workflow down :) - I
just appreciate it is different!

The only puzzle I have from your comments is that of the build up you
mention for Piezo on the pads - I know what you mean and see exactly the
same on my 1160, 7000 and 1160 running Cone color pigs (as an aside... Clog
free :). It is perhaps less of a problem withg the Color, but it's difficult
for me to say with reliability... as I have done less Color printing.

What I am asking here is... wouldn't you expect that with a pigment /
particulate based ink? Or, put another way, can anyone explain why MIS VM
does not do this? Perhaps a lower pigment concentration... or?

I'm just an amateur scientist(!) so please forgive if overall, this question
is irrelevant!

Best regards, and once again, thank you for the informative posting...

Nij
