Re: [Digital BW] Eboni Black

2003-03-12 by Jerry Olson

Chris, MIS told me on the phone that you can intermix the eboni ink and 
the VM inkset with no problems.
That is why I just ordered a bottle of eboni, to use with my VM inkset. 
That is the exact opposite of what they
told you. VERY strange! They said all the ultratone inks are compatible 
with their
older inksets, but that they are still experimental, and no refunds or 
returns can be given if you order their
4.3 inks now. They said further testing must be done before they put 
their regular guarantee on the new inkset.


Has anybody actually done this?

If the Eboni ink can be used with the older VM inkset I would think it 
HAS to be compatible with that ink!
