Re: Old ink

2012-08-12 by jffelinik

Where in SW France do you live, and what ink are you planning on using?

I use MIS UT-14 for my Epson 1400, and in about 2-4 weeks I am about to order again from MIS, if we are not too far away from each other maybe we'd be able to split an order and save some shipping?


Cheers!
