Re: [Digital BW] MIS VM Ink Color Change

2005-11-03 by rikyu99

I heard back from MIS....they think that it's possible that my older 
inkset had ink that had separated, changing the tone. But, I looked 
back at my 'color bar' prints using my inks, nearly 5 years ago, and 
those colors still match what my swab test just showed, before MIS sent 
me the 'new' ink. I have to conclude there is a change in the ink I got 
recently from MIS. What is particularly strange, is that even the 25% 
ink of the MIS Original Quad set, looks different from what I have been 
using. So it's not just the VM colors that are different.

By the way, the VM black - my old ink and the new one sent - both have 
the solvent smell, and the black looks like it is the same in my swab 
tests.
