Digital BW, The Print

Julian-

My experience with the Piezo carts is killing me... I am about to 
quit trying to fix a persistent clog and send the 1160 to Epson.

I bought some FS carts to try... If that works, I'm going to try FS 
on a CIS. If that doesn't work, I'll go back to Piezo and try CIS and 
just learn to live with it.

Everyone I have talked with say that the CIS is really more stable 
than the carts... Once you learn to press the CIS carts down.
