Digital BW, The Print

I just replaced my bottles of Cone ink with the MIS ink and printed
away. It will take a lot of prints before you see the new MIS inks. You
can suck about 15cc's of ink from the cartridges through the center tube
in the bottlecaps, and then replace that with the new ink of the same
position. I've done that too, just recently when I replaced the VM black
with a DYE version of pure black. The prints now have a beautiful black.
(MIS dye ink). No metamerism, but I have to do the south window test to
see about longevity. If you want the MIS inks to look like the Piezo
inks, use their FS inkset. If you do this, you probably won't have make
many prints to clear out the old ink, the tones are very similar.
