MIS eboni black?

MIS eboni black?

2003-05-26 by Jean-Marc Humbert

Before ordering new MIS FS Neutral bottles for my Epson 1160 CIS 
system, do you know if the problem with the new Eboni black is solved?

Since the introduction of the new black, I have read a lot of 
complies about cloging (I have never suffered any serious clogs with 
the MIS FS Neutral old version): have they modified their formula 
since?

Is there any visual improvement between the older version of MIS FS 
quads and the new ones with Eboni black?

thank you for your advice.

You may not have a choice, I seem to remember they stated all blacks 
would be replaced with the Eboni? Perhaps I'm wrong...

 There were a lot of complaints initially, but most of those were 
actually CIS startup problems. The Eboni itself isn't much of a 
problem.

The Eboni is more neutral, but the Dmax is the same. The real 
improvement is in lifespan-the Eboni is more stable.
