Digital BW, The Print

if you have the [piezo software, keep that and ditch the inks. MIS FS in
various colours slots in place of the piezo inks and you can still you use
the software and profiles in the normal way. MUCH cheaper to. Checkout the
archives or www.inksupply.com. I had the same experience as you.

With your piezo software, 1160 printer and MIS FS inks you should have no
problems at all. Make step wedge tests for your papers (re-read page 22 of
the piezo manual!) and you should be cooking in no time. I have never had a
clog with MIS ink - air bubbles yes, but zero clogs.
