I don't know the answer to that question, but one thing to consider is 
purchasing virgin cartridges and bulk inks from MIS. There's a small 
learning curve to refilling but doing so minimizes ink costs to the 
extent that paper becomes the most expensive component of the 
equation. If you refill, I recommend reading Paul Roark's meticulous 
writeups on the subject. They're informative in general and also lets 
you know what parts you need.

Paul Roark links here for C86 and R220, in case you haven't already 
seen them:

BTW I'm using the C86 and am very pleased with the results. The R200/
R220 inks weren't available yet when I got started a month or two ago, 
but if I had to do it again I might still go with the C86 (fewer 
cartridges to deal with and still stunning results).
