Re: [Digital BW] CIS or EZ Refill cart for C86

2005-01-17 by John

Scott and Paul, thanks for the quick response.

The reason I asked is.... those china-made CIS (which most U.S. co. 
are getting their parts from) are almost the same price as the EZ 
Refill cart. I can easily order them over the net.

I agreed with Paul that EZ Fill is very flexible IF you are going to 
switch between blacks but I prefer mostly glossy. 

Scott, even if I am not printing everyday, with EZ Refill, the unused 
inks are sitting in their own plastic container if you know what I 
mean.... :-)

Thanks again
John
