Re: [Digital BW] CIS or carts for 1400...

2009-12-05 by R.Ternbach

My experience with Jon cone's inks with Harrington's QTR has been more
recent than yours and has been very positive but I would like to try MIS
inks and Paul Roark's curves in the 1400 CIS I got from Jon Cone to
compare results I get with the "Special Edition" inks and then decide
which to stick with in the 1400.
