Re: Alternatives to ink cartridges (CIS vs CFS)

2004-05-09 by Bob Michaels

Look at the MIS site. Not only do they sell all the parts, you can
download their instructions. Actually, the only assembly work is
drilling, taping the carts and screwing in the elbow fittings. MIS
even sells the drill, tap and glue to do that. But when you add up the
price of the resettable chips, the bottom fill adapters, the brackets
for the carts & printer and everything else, you just end up buying
their system.
