Inks, Epson vs. Cone etc. was:(more newbie q's)

Paul, Jason and Julian,

Thanks.

Cost is an issue to me... that is why I would like to try out the 
$150 MIS CFS first with a proven workflow instead of just sending 
Cone $600 for their driver and CIS.  Is it really going to take the 
Cone driver to get great prints?  If this is the case I sould 
probably start out with MIS FS and then get the Cone driver... the 
problem is that Cone will not just sell the driver.  If you already 
have a CFS on you printer Cone still makes you purchase a kit 
complete with carts that you don't need, they won't even give you 
store credit for them (which I think is a little hard-nosed).
