Re: [Digital BW] 1280: Piezo cheapest cost to entry?

2002-04-09 by Jason DeFontes

The software that you get when you buy Piezo has the drivers for all the 
printers on one disk. So you could buy whatever their cheapest cartridge 
kit is, then buy the CIS and MIS inks separately. You could give 
away/sell the Piezo cartridges that won't be able to use to someone else.
