C86/R800/R1800 carts are physically compatible with the R2400.  The chips
are different.  The MIS chip resetter will re-set Epson chips, so those can
be recycled.  I've run MIS 2400 inks in these carts with Epson and MIS
chips, but MIS has not put any of the materials on its web.  

The MIS 2400 color inks appear to be the same as the MIS Pro colors.  The LK
also appears to be the same.  The PK is not the same, since the 2400 (like
the R200) needs a lighter load (mix PK with some LK).  And, of course, the
LLK is new (but extremely close to UT1-Hex-Y).  In short, you can put
together a 2400 inkset easily from readily available MIS materials.

I'm not sure why none of this is on the MIS website.  They may just not have
enough of all the supplies (most likely chips) to sell them.  Alternatively,
they may be trying to get a color set that is closer to the Epson colors.  I
found there were some small but visible differences that might affect the
profiles.  

A CFS for the 2400 is also in the works.
