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: http://www.anestoday.com/epson2200/ -- Daniel Staver http://daniel.staver.no > -----Original Message----- > From: wolfmann37122 [mailto:wolfmann37122@...] > Sent: 11. juni 2003 04:49 > To: DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com > Subject: [Digital BW] I hated my CFS system, but.... > > > I had a 1280 with a MIS CFS system and it was a pain, mostly. > The ink dried out or something, I had to do endless cleaning > cycles and the > dreaded red light came on all the time.
