I don't know. I generally print cool and don't do much sepia. What are the
other benefits (beside price)?

True, but if I recall, the photo black is still being worked out for glossy
papers.

What are you using?

Gotcha. It seems the Septone system is plug-n-play--which may make it
worthwhile. However, I have a densitometer and wouldn't mind trying to
create profiles with IJC with either ink--so again it comes down to picking
an ink... :)

Suggestions?

Oh yeah, I seem to remember someone selling an empty CIS for the 2200, but I
couldn't find the link. Does that sound familiar?
