Digital BW, The Print

Thanks... I'll wait a week or so (and try to use up as much of the 
old ink as I can <g> and give them a call if I can't figure this out 
on the website. I have 2 1160s and a 1270 and only one CIS. I'm 
planning on "CISing" at least one of the others and maybe adding a 
1280 dedicated for color, but have been waiting to see all the 
announcements at PMA next month... Who knows, we may have a new "next 
great thing" printer... And it sounds like we might (as a minimum) 
have an enhanced Piezo software. One of the very cool things about 
the MIS inks is the ability to switch from one to the other without 
tossing your whole system.

I'm down in Watsonville today... Definitely felt the chill when I 
took the dogs out for a walk this morning... But it sure is CLEAR.

Wouldn't want to be on the Raider plane today :{
