Re: most grief due to non-OEM?

Hello Djon,

No grief here.  I'm happier now than ever before and it just keeps
getting better.  The only "clogs" I have are caused by trapped air
from changing carts, and I recently figured out how to avoid those.  I
can crank up the 2200 after long periods of sitting and get perfect
nozzle checks.

I print mostly BO with Eboni.  The main reason I use it instead of
Epson MK is its cooler color to begin with, and the gorgeous look it
has on various papers (IMO much prettier than MK).  And, being a pure
carbon ink  without toners, it is extremely fade resistant to boot. 
Life is good.

Regards,
Clayton
