charm. You'll have to still print about 20 letter size prints of a 4
color flush image to get out all the old ink. I went from Piezo to the
MIS VM variable tone inkset, and had no problems. The two inks are
totally compatible.

Hi Jerry:

Could you clarify what this means? I'm thinking of going from Generations 
color CIS to MIS quads.  I have been using the Variable Piezo, but if I can 
get the same quality at a much lower cost, I'll try it.  

All the best!
