Digital BW, The Print

Word has it (unconfirmed by me) from the Epson Wideformat forum that  
these are simply rebranded inks from MIS. If you like MIS and these  
are less expensive, perhaps they are worth pursuing. Otherwise, I  
would do more research prior to investment. See who makes them for  
sure. If you don't like how MIS inks work for you, these inks may do  
the same thing.

Repeat: I have not confirmed this information, only heard it from a  
member of the other forum.

Best,

Gary
