Digital BW, The Print

I use MIS inks in a MIS CFS and frequently go a week, sometimes two
between printing sessions and have no problems. I don't even bother to
turn the printer off. Some have problems, I don't. 

It may be humidity related. I live in FL where the RH seldom gets
below 50% in the winter with the heat running. 

MIS does have a free software package that prints a purge test every
day to alleviate problems. But I know nothing about it. 

Just buy prefilled carts until you're sure you like the inkset.
Leaving 3oz. of ink in a 4 oz. bottle and buying new CFS carts can get
expensive. (But you WILL like the UT2, assume UT7 is the same)
