The Original Cone inks where made by Sundance (though none of us knew 
it back then) and they where notorious for clogging. Those inks caused 
me a lot of grief ! I was rarely able to get a good and consistent 
nozzle check with them. In addition the original Cone / Sundance plugin 
was flawed in my opinion because it was prone to reveal banding on many 
Epson's in comparison to Epson's driver which employs a dither that 
usually hides banding problems most of the time.  Maybe Sundance has 
fixed all these problems... but I personally would not use their 
inventions based on my previous losses and frustrations with them.

In contrast the current MIS UT inks are the most problem free / clog 
free inks I have ever used!
