Digital BW, The Print

I don't know about the other systems, but the MIS continuous flow system is
just a standard ink cart with a few tubes stuck in the top. The specialised
fittings needed consists of a little plastic right-angle connector for each
ink, and some 6-way ribbon tubing. The MIS kit may also consist of a syringe
with a vacuum valve for pressure testing the fitting of the connectors in
the cart, some glue and a tap to cut a screw thread into the cart opening (I
admit I just used an old machine screw I had lying around for that). You'll
also need a glue gun to seal up one set of ports on the cart itself.

The details of how to install the CFS is on inksupply.com, and like I say,
theres nothing very specialised about it except for the little right-angle
connectors.

The 1290 uses chipped carts though, so you'll need some way of resetting the
chip. MIS sells a program that does this, but it only works for printers
connected via the parallel port as far as I can remember.
