> Epson 2200 inks are a fortune compared to the Piezotone inks ...

Since Piezotone inks are not available for the 2200 I was comparing 
their cost as it applies to the 1280, since that is the machine I use 
Piezotone inks in. I can buy a 5-color cartridge for my 1280 for 
about $25 where a Piezotone grey cartridge lists for $48 -- almost 
double the cost -- and Pieziography uses more ink than the Epson 
software. Also, cleaning out the occassional clog doesn't help on the 
ink usage either. You are correct in saying the CIS system can save 
you money on ink but a Pieziography CIS kit costs an additional $250, 
then you need Pieziography software to go with it for another $150. 
Then the CIS inks are $44 each and you need five of those. If you add 
those numbers up, to get started in a Pieziography CIS system is just 
about what you'd pay for a new 2200. Pieziography works beautifully 
but I don't think its inexpensive.
