wouldn't hurt to experiment a little w/making our own

nope i was told the formulation is different and not

this came from someone who has worked on dozens of these printers and
loves them.
you know the MSDS wouldn't change if only the ratios and weights of
different waxes had changed...

I bet the only reason the 8500/8550 ink doesn't work properly in our 8560

that's how I would set it up if I were a greedy bastard who wanted to make
it harder for 3rd party ink sellers.
Besides, they're using the same Material Safety Data Sheet for all the
8500/8550/8560 ink blocks, so they're probably all the exact same type of
wax...

Also, I've been told by an expert that the 8500/8550 ink will not work
properly in our 8560 so I doubt we could make our own ink without a lot
of
trial and traffic errors first.
