I'm not sure if this has been mentioned here already, or if it means
anything, but the latest issue of Practical Photography had a two page
review of the PermaJet VT Blax mono inks which are basically rebranded
MIS VM inks I think. They tried the prefilled cartridge version with
Paul's curves and found them straightforward and very easy to use. Total
verdict 89%. They explained the entire process of loading the different
curves and printing the image in a few paragraphs (most of the article
was pictures). It's really not that hard to install a cartridge, load a
curve and press print, so I certainly don't think this is out of reach
for the average person or casual user like Peter seems to think.
