Black and Cyan in my case. But hey, I'm not complaining. I have 4 oz
bottles :)

I've been printing liberally since I got it set up before Christmas. I'm
not sure how many prints, but a lot. The black and cyan are down to the
top of the labels on the bottles (probably about a centimeter). The
magenta is being used, but not even half as much. I couldn't even tell if
the yellow was budging until recently. It's behind the magenta in the race
to the bottom of the bottle.

I take MIS seriously when they say it (the CFS system) should be used
every day. With my R800 I think twice before printing out. Not with the
C86. Even when I'm to the point of buying a new set of bottles, it's not
going to cost me more than two Epson black cartridges over here (Sweden).
