subjectively feel) that I use ink carts far more frequently than with 
the 2200. It may be that I just print more because the results are so 
much better with the 2400. I think that if one is to truly minimize 
the cost per print then the solution in part lies with using the 4800 
or 7800 using the 220ml carts. As I say I love the results so for me 
the 2400 is a wonderful tool. But I genuinely believe I am using ink 
much faster than before so the cost as well as the quality is up. 
Someone might be willing to do the work to discover this

Woody, maybe this will help:

If not, a CIS that uses the ink from the larger carts might be a good 
idea. It won't pay off as quickly as using third party inks, but it 
might be an option for you.

As far as the hardware part, the Ink Republic system works great in 
my cheezy cx6600, but I'm using Image Specialists ink with that 
machine. I've paid it off a while ago, and only installed it around 
the beginning of September. Just a thought.
