Digital BW, The Print

Richard,

I am on the exact same path as you.  Recently I have purchased 
an Epson 1160, the Piezo software and am looking into which 
inks and CFS to get.  After checking prices and reading posts, 
I've decided to go with the MIS FS inks as well and have the 
same question as yourself.  I am also trying to figure out which 
continuous inking system to get.  Do you like the MIS CFS 
system?  Any problems with it?  How does it compare to the No 
More Carts system or the Niagara systems?  Thanks!

Andy
