Hi Steve, 

I have ordered the chip from MIS (not charging me for it - nice of
them), but trying out the 2200 driver in the meantime. I have just
printed with it and, joy of joys, pure black/white. A bit too dark in
the shadows so need to tinker a bit, but at least it has solved the
colour problem. I might stick with the 2200 driver though because I
see that 2880 dpi printing is an option with Enhanced Matte which is
not an option with the 2100 driver (it also puts profiles into the
Windows clour management tab in Printer Prefs - maybe I should remove
those to lighten shadows). I was planning to stick with the CIS system
at the moment until I get one of the newer spongeless kits. I have
been very pleased with it apart from a slight leak recently (due to a
loss of the airbreak in the cartridge). Why you suggest dropping the CIS?
