Re: [Digital BW] MIS ink cartridges not working.

2005-05-29 by scott_now_coming

When I bought my C86, I installed the MIS pre-filled carts without 
ever using the Epson carts.

The MIS inks went FAST, with that 1st set.

Then I bought re-fillable carts and bulk MIS ink. The ink isn't used 
nearly as fast as that first set. Go figure.

I highly recommend re-fillable carts and bulk MIS inks.

If you go that route, let us know and we'll fill you in on what to 
purchase.
