Digital BW, The Print

Linda, I'm about to unpack a reserve 1280 and put it into play with
colour inks. (I presume you use a quad set). I've had success with
MediaStreet CIS, but InkRepublic is seriously discounting their 1280
CIS to clear. Are you using pigment inks with your 2400 InkRepublic
CIS? If so, any problems with ink flow?
