Street originally sold the NoMoreCarts CIS under the name Niagara but 
since have parted company with NoMoreCarts and are getting their CIS 
from someone else but keeping the Niagara name. I would be inclined 
to get a NoMoreCarts CIS from InkJetMall which comes with very good 
instructions or talk to InkJetGoodies about their new CIS. The MIS 
CFS is also an option if money is tight but their chip resetting 
method is not as nice as the systems that use the "always full" 
chips. I have let my CIS units sit for long periods unused and they 
start back up fine for me. This was not true with the original Piezo 
inks but the MIS-VM has never given me a problem. The PiezoTones seem 
to be pretty good in the clog department. Not quite as good as MIS 
inks but very close.

Thanks, very to the point & helpful.  I'm planning to go with the PT 
Selenium grays and MIS K (unless Jon Cone comes up with a miracle fix 
in the next couple of weeks, when I'll be away), so I'll be watching 
the list to see if you report any problems with that apparently "best 
practices" approach to inks.
