I have been using the Cone inks for over two years.  I have made hundreds of
prints, if not in the thousands.  I have had SOME problems, some clogging,
some banding...but all of them were solved.  The product, when it works
right, works very very well, the images are stupendous.  I believe you hear
more about the people who have problems, more than you do people who don't.
Their support is stupendous though, and they typically go well out of their
way to solve customer problems.
