Re: Replacing Piezotone with MIS FS

2004-03-14 by ragarecords

Hi Paul,
Thanks for your reply...your answer is about the UT inks, but my 
question was  about  whether anyone had trouble adding the 
non-UT "Full Spectrum" inks (which the MIS website says is fully 
compatible with Piezotone-- no flushing needed) to 
almost-empty supply bottles with remaining Piezotone ink.  MIS 
seems to say you can, but I'm hoping someone on the list can 
tell me they've done it with good results.
