Re: [Digital BW] Best bulk feed system?

2004-01-23 by Mark Hahn

the niagras *look* like they are better, but when you have a problem 
you are on your own, period.  My friend was able to get his credit 
card company to fight for a refund for his defective niagra system 
before going to MIS.  While they all should install pretty easily, I 
think you are going to end up futzing with them from time to time.  
Somehow, every 6-10months I lose air space in my carts with my 
MIS/1160 setup and have to pump air back into them and let them sit 
for 24hrs before printing again.  MIS also suggest that you cycle ink 
through your system occasionally (ie. pull ink through the carts a 
few times).  Because of the lack of guarentee and support from the 
other sources I would only go with MIS.
