There's only one source: http://www.inksupply.com

You will have to decide if you want warm inks or neutral. The neutral inks
can be warmed up by degrees. You will want to bookmark this link:

My advice is to start with two sets of cartridges, one set of warm inks
and one set of neutral inks, so you can try out the combinations to find
the tones you want.

Be warned: The preloaded cartridges seem to be back-ordered fairly
frequently. I suspect that there is a pretty big interest and they get
sold like hot-cakes.

The other alternative, and I wish I went this way, is to buy a set of
refill cartridges and some bottles of ink. That way you can fill them
yourself (you're going to like this so you will be frustrated when the
one-shot cartridges run dry on you).

Then you can still switch cartridges and refill them easily.

I went with the CFS system. I like it a lot, but I can't experiment with
the various combinations of warm/neutral inks that you can with the refill
cartridges. I hear it is so easy to refill the new kind that the CFS
system is over-kill.

MIS' most recent newsletter will get you started:

They're closed until after the New Year, so you have time to rummage
around.
