Digital BW, The Print

If that's what you're planning, you might think about buying the empty 2200 carts, and the MIS K4 inks to fill them with.  Far cheaper to operate than buying Epson carts w/ink.  They also sell what they call "MIS PRO" inks which, they claim, has similar characteristics to the new Epson inks.  I've used them in the R220, and am planning on switching over my 9600 to the PRO inks.

  Tom, yes, I do kno that...thanks, though. and Carl....how difficult/messy is it to transfer 
the ink from the K4 carts to the ones that work in the 2200? This is the area I am 
completely clueless about. Is there clear instructions somewhere on ho to do this?

Thanks!
Sarah
