 But Terry, the inks DO work as advertised in a good printer. I see far too
many people wasting money trying to make a duff printer work.
The warranty is great, the day after I complained about mine a guy came
around and gave me another one. I have two 1160s that work very well - one
didn't. My big moan with Cone is the price. I've not seen an FIS print, but
when I do, and if Ilike it I'll switch. But on cost grounds only. I've got a
set and a half of inks left - so I'll decide later! Also the Cone driver
isn't as forgiving for reasons we all know about, a different dither pattern
and upped res.
When this list first started there was some concern that it was an MIS
l;ist - it is starting to read like that to me.
