Digital BW, The Print

I just sucked up all the Piezo ink I could with a 60ml syringe from the
center of the bottle caps. Then I turned the cartridges upside down, and
sucked the new ink (MIS) back down into the cartridges. Works like a
charm. You'll have to still print about 20 letter size prints of a 4
color flush image to get out all the old ink. I went from Piezo to the
MIS VM variable tone inkset, and had no problems. The two inks are
totally compatible.

Hi Jerry:

Could you clarify what this means? I'm thinking of going from Generations 
color CIS to MIS quads.  I have been using the Variable Piezo, but if I can 
get the same quality at a much lower cost, I'll try it.  

All the best!

I've not gone from a color inkset to black and white. That might present problems.

I think the MIS quads and the Color generations are around the same price.

What do you mean when you say "Variable Piezo?"

Hi Jerry:

Thanks for your input.  I mean the formul which Paul developed a while back 
with Piezo and Gen mixed into the Yellow.

All the best!
