Nope I wiped one out with inks that were incorrectly recommended by a 
sales person... (Inks that WILL work in a BJ800 and since the S9000 uses 
the same cartridge, she incorrectly assumed... Well, you get the 
picture. ) This was when I first got the unit last March..

Perfect Vendor to choose, the owner LOVES his S9000 himself... I can 
tell you he has a BIGTIME cost promo debuting TODAY on new S9000s...  

He also has a CIS/CFS coming.. In fact, it will likely be sold with an 
attached printhead once they are available as spares..

Total plug and play.. Want to change inks?  Simply plug in the new head 
and CIS... Sweet!

I'll add Lyson Small Gamuts (for B&W) and Lysonics to the mix when that 
happens..
