Digital BW, The Print

Clayton, since I've never used this ink system, I cannot speak from 
experience, but I'm sure these inks do a great job as you say. 
What's more,I have read many threads on this board from key members 
praising these inks which is why I invested in them in the first 
place. Notwithstanding, I've been reading more and more threads from 
members about the poor quality control of these carts and I find 
this disturbing since I've decided to "buy into" the system.

In any event, tomorrow I will call MIS tech support and see what 
they suggest. I an hopeful they can resolve this problem for me 
quickly.
