Re: [Digital BW] MIS ink cartridges not working.

2005-05-29 by mbrouphy

Scott,
This is exactly my plan, too.  I ordered an initial set of cmy carts 
and 2 Eboni carts to get up an running so I can see how this system 
will work for me. Once I'm satisfied with the output I was planning 
to order the refillables.  Please feel free to post what you feel is 
needed to do this properly. Thanks, Mike Brouphy
