Re: [Digital BW] what do I need to switch to quadtone

2004-03-04 by luisvcool

I read on MIS's website that if you use a CFS system, you should make a print every day to 
avoid problems with the CFS system.  I do not make prints every day.  I make 4 - 6 prints 
per week.  Should I use a cartridge system instead or do MIS inks (including UT7) give 
more problems that Epson UC inks?

Thanks.
