Glad to see an alternate ink is available (and 20% less expensive). My
guess is that PrintFix Pro will turn out great profiles with the new ink.


Yes, PrintFIX PRO will work fine with the Pantone inks...

Anyone have experience with the new inks?


I've not found any of the Pantone inks to be problematic, in terms of color formulations or clogging, etc... they tend to cost more than other, similar, third party inks (after all, you are paying for the Pantone name); if or when the costs are equivalent to MediaStreet or MIS inks, that would cover my only issue.

Any real worries about Epson's lawsuite on alternate inks?

This issue has taken on an Alice in Wonderland angle, that defies logical prediction; so I won't even attempt to comment.
