Digital BW, The Print

Bruce,

The MIS UC VM inkset (my terminology -- I don't know what MIS will call it,
if anything) will run on all the usual Epson printers.  I use an 1160 for
getting the inks right.

I don't know if MIS will have an FS version.  It would not surprise me if
they do.  I'm not currently working on such an inkset, but it would be easy
to take my toner and mix an FS inkset with the same properties.

  Thanks Paul,

  Will this be an inkset I can run on my 1160?  Or, will there be a version
of
  these inks that will work with the old cone driver like the MIS FS inks?
