Bill -

I've used products from both MIS and Inkjetmall in 1280s, and they are
essentially the same product (or were, 3 or 4 years ago when I bought
them).  Don't know about the 2200.  They both worked great for about
18 months, but then (even though there were no obvious inlets for this
to happen) the lines from bottle to cart begain developing air
bubbles, and ink preceipitates in the lines, and eventually (after
about a year and a half of use, which was about a full 4 oz bottle of
each ink) the systems both gave up the ghost, clogged irretreviably
and had to be discarded.

I have a 2200 now, and am experimenting with the UT7 inkset in the
individual carts - it will be a while before I go CFS again, as that's
a commitment to a lot of one ink set, and I'm sensing that I'm going
to be doing some experimenting before I get the ink and tone quality
I'm happy with.

By the way - where in Austin?  I'm in Circle-C.
