Re: Jon Cones Inks vs MIS inks?

2002-02-08 by pbard2002

The inks may be compatible and interchangeable, as many people on this
list have found, but one major difference is that with the Cone system
you get tech support, with MIS it is virtually non-existent, or at
best, slow.  This may not matter to you but for some it is important
enough.  The cost per print is not that significant compared to time
spent figuring out problems on your own, and of course, paper.

Best,
Phil
