Re: C86 - question about MIS neutral tone inks

2005-02-01 by JensGerbitz

Thanks Lee.

Howard: make sure that when you order with MIS - and if you decide to
order some bulk ink as well - that you don't order a whole bottle for
each color position.  The salesperson I spoke with was helpful, but
didn't point out that the CMY positions are all the same ink; as a
result I bought 2 bottles of bulk ink too many.  I don't think that it
was an attempt to sell me more than I need, just that he may have
thought that they were all different.

One other question for the group: is the bottom fill adapter
necessary?  Has anyone here not run into problems without using one?

Thanks again,
Jens
