Digital BW, The Print

Kip,

 
> Paul, may I assume you were referring to using a CIS with dye printers?

Yes.  Also, the pigments I used were the last generation of pigments.  So,
they could be better now with modern pigs and printers designed for such.

For very high volume printing, CFSs make a lot of sense.  For someone like
me who switches inks a lot, they don't. I would also not advise using them
unless the printer is used very regularly.
