Digital BW, The Print

Thanks folks  for your replies
I'm waiting for my CFS system - however the support response from MIS hads been really unhelpful, even though I've been excrutiatingly detailed.

Hello Aaron,
Our cartridges are filled to the maximum level. This is why we tell our clients they will last as long as there O.E.M. cartridge.
Sincerely,
Rob

And a thouroughly enlightening reply (where I wrote about EZ black inks)
Dear Aaron,
You will use each color and black differently according to what you are printing.  Each time you run a cleaning cycle that will use ink also.  
If you are using a 2oz bottle of ink for instance, you will get 3 refills for each Color and 3 refills for each Black.  That is why people who are refilling the cartridges will buy larger bottles of ink to save money.  If you are doing a lot of printing then yes the CFS system is the way to save the most. 
Thank you

So I'd assume they simply agree with the coverage cost at over $5.00 per page.

Does anyone have real data as if I'd like to do cost recovery on my supplies - I've got people at work that have seen my work and would like to order prints through me. ?

  I noticed something about the latest batch of virgin empty cartridges from MIS. For these I use the vacuum fill method but I found that out of 5 cartridges I could only get one to totally filled up. I suspect the bottom seal leaks due to some problem in manufacturing process. If this is indeed the case, I'll bet their inkjet filling station may not be able to fill the carts to their maximum capacity.

  Bjorn in a response to your email said that he was able to print lots more after refilling the cartridge himself. I think it is would be helpful to MIS if they are informed of this problem and get it corrected. I will send them an email about this as well.
