Digital BW, The Print

I once cut open some 1200 cartridges w/MIS inks that I had great
dificulty with and found that the sponges were full of hard congealed
spots of ink, particularly the black one. It looked more like a case
of polymerization(sic) than anything else. The bulk inks had been
around for 10-11 months or so before loading the cartridges and they
had been reloaded 2 or 3 times. This also occured for me with a cis
after 6 months or so of use. I came to the conclusion that there is a
reason for the bag cartridges in the pro model Epsons.
So far I haven't seen the problem with my 3000 but I'll keep my
fingers crossed and the machine on a wobbly stand :)
