Digital BW, The Print

Tom,

Case in point....

I have not run a cleaning cycle in 4 weeks with the MIS FS inks. I guess that even if I had to run a cleaning cycle once a week I would not complain.

  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.
