Re: Setting up a beginner BW printing system - some more questions ...

2001-08-31 by Antonis Ricos

Jann,

welcome to the group! I don't have any experience with the MIS inks, but I =
use 
piezoBW inks with a CIS (Continuous Ink System) from nomorecarts.com. 
Ever since, I have vowed never to use cartridges again! They are expensive =

and disruptive and the only reason to use them is to test an inkset.  Check=
 out 
their site to see which Epsons they support.

Enjoy as much sunshine as you can get this time of year in Stockholm!

Antonis
