CFS: nomorecarts or MIS?

2001-09-19 by Nicholas Hartmann

A dilemma -

I would like to move up from hand-filled cartridges to a continuous flow
system for my Epson 1160 printer, and cannot decide between the nomorecarts
system and the one offered by MIS. Given my past history with this list,
you will not be surprised to learn that I need the system only for the
black cartridge, in which I will be using the black that is part of the MIS
VM set.

My criteria are as follows:

1. Absolute reliability in terms of maintaining a consistent fill level in
the cartridge (I _believe_ I have seen some differences between prints
generated when the cartridge is full, and those produced when it is closer
to empty).

2. Absolute physical integrity: the idea of multiple fluid ounces of black
ink somehow escaping from this system and dripping down all over my
computer cart gives me the anticipatory shivers.

3. Minimal modification to the printer.

4. Ease of refilling.

If anyone has positive or negative experiences with either of these
systems, or (ideally) has used _both_ of them, I would be very grateful for
comments.

Many thanks,

-- Nick
