Bob,

Great analogy for this whole business! Hell of way to operate in a 
visual art medium!

I hope that by using the MIS FS inks to side step the clog issues and 
to get a print color closer to what I prefer. Is the handling 
problems you are seeing causing prints to get messed up during 
printing or is it just a problem getting the paper started? 

I generally do not present any work that has not been window matted 
so I don't need to do anything like 300-400gsm and can get by with 
papers in the 200gsm range. Do you think these would work reasonably 
well?

Thank you for all the information!

Martin
