Re: K3 inks vs MIS - clogs

2007-05-07 by john dean

I don't know how Cone formulated his new K7 inks but I have three
printers going with them and the black channel has not clogged once,
and the others are very slippery as well and only very rarely show any
tiny break in the nozzle pattern ever. Way less trouble than any other
inks I've used.
