Right, I have tried them all on two printers. One or two good prints 
then clogs.

You have a vested interest, no?


Kind of strange that on your web site you warn about the clogs in Color 
Piezo and advise people not to try it unless they want to experiment. 
Does  B&W and Color Piezo use the same size pigments/chemistry?  If so 
why not a warning for the B&W pointing out that it is still 
experimental.

FWIW, after all the problems I have had with Piezo I have reached the 
conclusion that it was launched too early and we have all paid a lot of 
money to be unpaid beta testers. Reports are beginning to appear on 
other lists from long term Piezo users of eventual clogging leading to 
trashing their printers. I think its a bit much to place all the blame 
on the printers. My own printers produced prefect prints with OEM ink 
and the original MIS Quad tone, my problems only started after using 
Piezo, yes I did flush correctly. 

I look forward to hearing more about MIS and the Indelible inks.
