Digital BW, The Print

The great thing about this new Cone ink formulation is the lack of
clogging and the smoothness of consistency, not to mention the perfect
neutral tone that never falters. I know in 6 months of running them I
haven't had a single head clog of any kind (I wish my Ultrachrome was
as smooth). I'm using the NK6 set but am also about to set up two more
 large format printers with sepia and split tone capability. As far as
the neutral set goes, I see no breaking down of the components at all.
I haven't started using the sepia set yet but imagine it will be the
same. Oh man how I wish these inks had been available 5 years ago. 

Having said all that I think ANY pigment should be shaken periodically
 to make sure the pigment doesn't seperate even a little from its
base.  A lot depends on how long you let the ink sit there. I assume
that is possible with most cfs units.
