Digital BW, The Print

MIS may not have the old VM inks any more.  Those new versions look like --
at least for the lighter ones -- they are based on a neutralized inkset.

> Hello,
> Several years ago I started with quadtones in my Epson 1160, using
> the VM colorset, but after a time, didn't really like anything other
> than a warmtone set. Starting with a new cartridge in my CIS, I took
> the VM toned ink in the Yellow position out of the inkset, and put
> the Original MIS Quadtone 25% in its place. This gave me a warm
> inkset that I've been using successfully for about 5 years & with
> several new bottles of the same ink purchased since.
> 
> Recently I purchased a new set of these same inks from MIS, at the
> same time that I installed a new cartridge set. I still had about an
> inch of ink in the previous bottles, but elected to just use the
> newer full bottles in the cleaned CIS unit, with the new cartridge.
> On printing tho, I noticed strange greenish casts in my prints. I did
