Paul.

I would be happy with Cones Museum Black and matte paper but
somebody on the list mentioned the clogging, and that scares me.
My experience with first Piezo inks isn't very good.

Best,
Kemal

I've only run one cart of the Museum Black in my 1160.  It worked fine
there, for what it's worth.

I suppose it takes 6 months and lots of people using the ink before we'll be
able to know with some certainty how any new ink compares in terms of
clogging, etc.  I'm, personally, not that patient.
