Re: [Digital BW] Sagging CIS Support Arm Cure - Now MIS testimonial

2001-12-12 by tzinzunzan2000

I had no problems installing the MIS CIS onto my 1160. First nozzle 
check came after 2 runs. The vacuum pump worked very well -- no 
spilled ink or rivets to deal with. In the instructions, which can be 
reviewed online, MIS flags the steps that can lead to problems if not 
performed correctly.
