Re: [Digital BW] MIS EZ inks tone question

2005-07-22 by mariaholmes10

Yikes!  I was trying to keep it simple, but you may be on to 
something (and I know you are THE expert!) I was planning on buying 
the pre-filled carts first to see which tones I liked and then later 
fill them myself, but maybe I'll jump right in. 

Yes, I've read about how to swap out the carts, and it doesn't sound 
too difficult. I have installed several CIS units and had some of the 
dreaded 'red light' problems, faulty chips, etc., and I did survive 
it all, so I should be up to filling my own carts!! LOL Thanks for 
the suggestions!  Maria H.
