Hi Clayton-

I'm about to do the same thing.  I am lookign to test the K7 inl=ks on
a 2200 and in the past was using Piezo inks on a 1160 with the "no
more cart" CIS system inkject mall sold.  The CIS system was horrible
-- it clogged, it dripped, it had to be repaired a number of times, it
needed new carts, and then just didn't work right.  It was very
frustrating, and ultimately too costly.

I am very interested in the refillable, spongeless cartridge option as
it seems to be the perfect solutions for me -- Economic ink supply
without the hassle of a CIS, and I'm not using the printer so
intensively that refilling a cartridge now and then isn't much of an
inconvenience or disruption.

I'd be interested in knowing how you get on with your testing.  How
are the K7 inks on the 2200 compared to the Piezo ink (I used to use
the selenium tone inks set) on the 1160.  I'd also be interested in
knowing if you try the spongeless cartidges and what you thought of them

Thanks!
