Hi Brian

I'm based in the UK and order mine from MIS.  I have only used their
cheapest shipping option which typically takes 1-2 weeks.

(I've heard that the monochrome ink sold by Permajet is rebranded MIS
ink.  It works out cheaper to order it direct though.)


Thanks, Chris.

Brian

anyone here know anything about this?

Found this blog, which says that basically the NPS will start  
charging photographers for
"commercial still photography".

rules.html

Just an FYI, since it is possible that some members of these groups  
could be affected.
If you have an opinion about this, contact the NPS chief (link in the  
blog above), and also
your Congresscritter.

It looks like we have nothing to worry about in this case.

Dang. Most of my photography (even in parks) involves models...
