Re: What about the folks in Asia? C83 instead of C86

Josh,

Did you buy the C83 yet? Here's why I ask. I bought the C84 and use 
the EZ inks in it. Of course I removed the color carts. What I was 
thinking is if you bought the C83 I could send you the unopened, 
brand new color carts for the C84.
If they fit the C83 I would assume that the EZ inks would work 
perfectly, from a Cartridge fitting perspective anyway.

If so drop me a line off the group and I'll send you the carts. (They 
might have a little Texas dust on them but that's OK)

Jules
