Jerry,

Are you sure that person was talking about the BW inks?

Please - I have _no_ extra information here that I am in some way hinting at
but can't say. I can't add anything because I know of no changes in
formulation. However, I am posting this because the only post I could see on
the Epson list referred to the Color Piezo and it's 'sometimes' problematic
yellow. (where 'sometimes' means, some people work fine with it, some do
not).
