This new black sounds great. I currently run an 1160 with a CFS loaded
with MIS FS-N. I am almost out of black. Does anyone know if I can
just order a bottle of this new black and refill my old black bottle
as it runs low? Or just switch the tubes into the new bottle? Of
course I realize that it will take a little time for the old ink in
the tubes to run through but eventually I'd be at pure new black.
Would there be any issues in combining the two blacks this way?

Best regards,
 Richard
