I disagree. I give it 3-6 months tops.  While these new inks, from all
the hype, are all we could ever want, they are going to be expensive.
If these inks are so good then perhaps one of the two main reasons for
3rd party inks has been compromised, desire for better inks be that
for color or for archival purposes.  But the other reason still exists
--cost.  The savings of carts vs. a good CIS will still be tremendous.
