Hi Richard,
 
my 1160 never saw OEM inks until just recently, when after a few months of
inactivity I used them to bring it back to life. I started with a MIS FS set
and had no problems at all. I think you should keep the OEM carts to use as
an extreme measure in troubled times (hoping they never come, obviously :-).

Subject: [Digital BW] new printer & MIS VM inks



Hello,

after reading all about Ebony ink for last few days here I would like 
to ask you question. I have new epson 890 printer and going to order 
MIS VM inks and fill empty cartridges with it. 
Do I need to do something special to avoid any possible problems 
before I put those filled cartridges to the brand new printer?
I am referring to some of previous posts here talking about some 
potentional problems when new printer is not used first with epson 
original cartridges and also some posts about Ebony inks which I 
understood is delivered in MIS VM set in pure black position.

Thank you very much for your advices.

Get the MIS grays, but use Enhanced Black from Media Street for your
Black position. I've been using this 
combo for years, no troubles, and a nice, deep black.

Jerry,

I use MIS VM now. If I went to Media Street Enhanced Black, would I need 
to do a flush on the black to get the MIS ink out?

No, The enhanced black is compatible with epson dye inks, and MIS inks. 
I've mixed them before, no problems.

Hello,

I do not really like to do any experiments (as mixing different brand 
of inks), just as much as possible reliable way to do nice b&w 
prints. I choosed for MIS VM based on information from this list.

That what was I planned to do, just on new printer use MIS VM 
cartridges I'll fill from bottled inks.

I was only warried (as was mentioned few messages earlier) that new 
Ebny which is now in MIS VM inks as black will make some complication 
with new printer.

Please who used MIS VM on new printer, possible the version with 
Ebony black, did you have any problems?

Thank you
