Paul-

I DON'T want to start a round of Piezo ink bashing... But I have a 
question from your statements about the similarities of the inks...

If they are so similar, why do you think there have been issues of 
Piezo clogging and then the MIS inks working on the same 
printer...and I assume there is some printer/piezo combination that 
is just not working right since so many others have used piezo with 
no problems at all.
