CIS and ink type are NOT restricted. Any bulk ink can be used with 
any CIS (new of course) The Cone CIS is the NoMoreCarts CIS which is 
also sold by www.inkjetgoodies.com, www.mediastreet.com (Niagara), 
www.inkjetart.com (inkjetartery), and others...

It is strongly recommended that a new set of virgin modified 
cartridges be used when switching ink types.

All of the MIS bulk inks are also suitable for use in a CIS, 
including the MIS FS inks.
