It's pretty straight forward: Cartridges require a bigger inventory investment and a dispensor, but improve paste handling and mixing.

Can anybody give me the Pros and Cons of of using Cartridges over jars and/or vice-versa. Also, if using cartridges, what is the best way to keep the paste from seperating, short of buying a mixer that cost over $5000.00 Thanks, Bill
