Thanks for the feedback,

Now one, well two, more questions.

1) Would I be better off getting the CFS system or refilling carts? 
I will not printing every day, probably a few times a week at most. 
Refilling the carts looks like a royal PITA, but will the CFS system 
clog if it is not used daily?

2) The full spectrum inks look like a nice ink...are they more toward 
the warmish side or are they cold? If cold it it a "white" cold or a 
"blue" cold...I do not mind white cold, but blue cold is not to my 
tastes at all.

In the "wet" printing I use the Agfa MCC 118 FB paper developed in 
LPD dilution 1:3.

Thanks for any and all help.
