Digital BW, The Print

Thanks, Bernd...

I switched to FS when I only had one 1160, so there is always that 
lingering doubt...but who cares...the FS makes great prints !

It is kind of maddening to hear that there are large numbers of 
people who can use Piezo with no problems and I couldn't... The first 
reaction is to blame yourself (logical since others use it 
well...what am I not doing right?). Maybe I didn't give it enough of 
a chance...only went through about 5 cart sets when I decided to just 
try one set of FS. It was SO trouble free, i went right from the 
first cart set (actually I still have two unopened) to CIS and have 
never turned back. Since I'm on my second set of 4 oz. bottles, I 
probably have "saved" more than $1000<g>... Guess I can afford that 
1280 after all...

Thanks for the reassurances.
