Hi Paul,

That's one of my un-asked questions aswered.

This is a B+W inkset? Will this feed back up to MIS? I ask as here in the
UK, there is about £10 difference between the C86 & the R200. So if there is
a B+W R200 inkset in the (near) future, it may change my purchasing
decisions.

Although I'd welcome any guidance anyone has on this.

Chris
