Digital BW, The Print

-"After wrestling with a MIS CFS on my 1280 without ever getting
-reliable prints, I stuffed it in a drawer...I then saw the new clear
-carts and thought they looked great (and I had all of that ink left
-over).  However, I have cleaned, purged, and printed until I am ready
-to be fitted for restraints, and it simply will not print a complete
-image without dropping nozzles.

-I finally gave up and switched back to color dye.  Perfect nozzle
-checks immediately, and no issues."


I had a 1280 that worked well with MIS pre-filled carts. As soon as I 
started using refillable spongeless carts I started to have trouble. My 
hands were constantly raw from scrubbing the ink off of them. About half the 
time after a refilling, I wasted half the ink to get a good test pattern 
after repeated cleanings. When it worked, the look of the prints were 
wonderful. In terms of reliability it sucked.  In the end I bought a 2400, 
which I am very pleased with. Now that MIS is about to start selling ink for 
the 2400, and I suspect shortly (right Paul) a set for B&W I'm starting to 
get that itch again. I try to imagine the prints with a set of eight carts 
for B&W.

Didn't anyone wonder why MIS sells Lava hand soap on their website? I guess 
this time I'm also going to need Corn Huskers Lotion.

PS. (Lava hand soap has pumice in, effective but tough on skin)
