[Digital BW] MIS - VM Sepia, and Old VM...

Ricardo,

>and in the VM Sepia .. but not on the regular VM ...

This is not a change, but an addition to the variety of inks you can buy.
FS (and Piezo) users now will have a truly neutral ink.  For those who like
the current medium-warm FS, that product will still be there (I assume).
And, for those who want an ink half way between the new neutral and the
standard FS, they can mix them 1:1 and get that tone.  So, the Piezo
software now supports variability between the FS and FS-N (neutral) inks.

>... MIS  ... said that i couldn't get a CFS for VM inks for the 1270...

I don't know what MIS's story is with respect to the 1270 CFS.  Contact
NoMoreCarts.com or Media Street.

I thought the 1270 and 1280 printers used the same accessories.. The
niagara CIS system fits the 1280 just fine and works like a charm.
