Re: [Digital BW] Piezography Clogging Issues

Mike-

I believe that the count of only 30 very vocal people is true. After 
all, what's the point of being vocal about it <g>... There IS a 
solution... Just switch to FS ink and continue to use the driver... 
Now THAT would be a large group <g>.

I'm sitting here looking a an unused set of Piezo carts, dying to put 
them in the second 1160 and do side by side printing with the FS inks 
just to satisfy myself that I am not giving up anything... but you 
know, I just don't want to take the chance of having another 6 week 
clog-a-thon to get the printer back to scratch. I'll freely admit the 
problem is with me or my printers, since Jon is sure it isn't the 
ink... I flat don't care what it is, I don't want to waste time 
dealing with clogs...but I'll never be vocal about it <vbg>.

in Delray Beach, Florida. I heard story after story of clogged 
printers, green prints, damaged printers, CIS units not working with 
these inks, etc. So I started to take count the stories. ALl I will 
say is that the number of people that have had problems or 
know "someone" that has problems is mind boggling. I guess that when 
stating that there are only 30 people with problems, the power of 3 
was left off.
