RE: [Digital BW] I hated my CFS system, but....

You might want to consider refills instead of a CFS. That way you can
easily swap between many different inksets.

I currently have 26 cartridges. Most of them are refilled with various
inksets and a few are still Epson originals. I'd hate to lose the
flexibilty of having all those inks available by dedicating myself to
single inkset in a CFS.

This page has very good information on refilling the 2200:
