Re: [Digital BW] anybody using MIS sepia-neutral VM inks?

Paul,

If you have not already done so, could you explain the vacuum loading technique.

I got tired of going to work with ink under my finger nails, so I bought latex gloves, but loading carts with a syringe is still a pain and a messy propasition.

  I suspect MIS will have all in bottles only at first.  I think they're a bit
  overwhelmed with the inventory requirements of having all in carts.

  People can, of course, load carts.  The new vacuum loading technique I've
  been using seems to work very well.
