Digital BW, The Print

Miguel,

At the current time, I do not use a CFS.  I've used a couple of NoMoreCarts
CIS's, but not at the moment.

For large prints I use an Epson 3000 that has large carts, so a CIS is not
necessary.

My smaller printer is used for so many different inksets, that I found the
CFS/CIS approach inefficient.

Also, I found that taking a CIS/CFS "off line" for several months and then
re-using it was a very bad idea.  Doing so is what killed my 1160 -- fatal
clogs that could not be cleared.

So, I decided to abandon CIS/CFS use.  However, for people who are not
experimenters and are going to stick with an inkset for a while, the CFS/CIS
approach makes a lot of sense.
