Digital BW, The Print

I believe another difference between the two systems is that with the MIS
system, the ink lines connect directly to the cart. With NMC system, the
tubes are fed through a small construction designed, I assume to hold the
tubes in place on the carts without stressing the joint to the 'elbow' that
feeds the ink into the carts. It's not a big deal, but another point where I
feel the NMC system just seems a bit more 'pro' than 'am'.
