Digital BW, The Print

I have just read the MIS page about their new foamless cartridges.  Can
anyone comment on whether these are better than the old ones?  Also does
anyone know when they will be available for the 21/2200?

BTW I just hacked an Epson cartridge to pieces (pick your desired hand
colour before doing so - or wear gloves!).  No foam.  But more importantly
there is a really rather intricate system for containing the ink and
"winding" it down to the outlet area.  There is also no obvious air intake
hole.  The poppet valve is also much more solid than the MIS cartridge.
