Jerry,

Can you please be a bit more specific about why the CIS is better than either 
the CFS from MIS or the InkjetGoodies bulk feed system? Is this just a matter 
of personal preference, or are there empirical differences?

The bulk feed system does seem to have some nice improvements, for 
example it comes with the acrylic holder, which is sold separately from the 
CIS. And the tubes don't stick out through the caps of the bottles, which I'm 
assuming means you're less likely to get air in them?

I don't have one of these systems yet, and I'm mainly interested in finding 
something that a) isn't going to ruin my 1160 printer, b) is going to print as well 
as pre-filled carts, and c) is cost-effective (ruining my printer or some 
expensive paper would not be cost-effective). Overall, I'm a bit hesitant, 
because these systems seem like they can be a major pain when something 
goes wrong. On the other hand, maybe it only seems like they malfunction a 
lot because we tend to hear about people's difficulties here on the list. I'd be 
curious to know whether there's a happy silent majority out there, and what 
they're using. (MARTIN W: How about a poll on this?)

Also, from what I could gather in terms of cost, all the systems -- CFS, CIS, are 
in the same ballpark: $125-150. I didn't see anything at MIS that costs $100 
more than the $125 bulk feed system at InkjetGoodies, but maybe I was 
looking on the wrong page.

Btw, I'm not a big fan of Cadillacs, personally... :-)

Peter
