Re: Are UltraTones ready for prime time?

2003-03-22 by Jeff Korte

I am also a happy user of the VM set in a CIS. But, I'd like to 
make the switch. This clogging issue has me holding off.

My concern is that while the new inks may work in a prefilled 
cartridge, I would like to use my nomorecarts CIS. This CIS has 
worked flawlessly with the VM set for the past year. I'm 
wondering if there is a clogging issue with prefilled vs. CIS 
systems with the new inks.

About the only Eboni information I can add at this point is that I 
recently (march 3) bought a prefilled hex set of the VM inks to use 
while I wait for the new inks to be released.

The MIS site states that as of March 1, Eboni was replacing the 
existing black in this set. So, while I can't be sure which black ink 
I'm using at present, it may be the Eboni. 

I haven't had any clogging trouble with this cartridge set.

But I'm a little leery of the "no guarantees" policy over at MIS right 
now.
