I cannot comment on your printer choice question which I am sure will be
answered by the more knowledgeable members of this site, however I have had
experience purchasing inks from MIS and having them sent to the UK.  Both
times I have done it so far it has been a very easy process, the only
downside being the potential wait whilst the parcel passes through Customs,
although even that is becoming shorter.  I have also found MIS to be a
really helpful company to deal with both by e-mail and over the phone.
There are UK based alternatives such as Lyson and Permajet which might be
worth looking into, perhaps someone else can comment on their pro's and
cons, however I don't think you can go wrong with MIS.

Regards

David

  I am a complete newbie at B&W printing, so I apologize in advance if my
  questions appear stupid.

  I am trying to find a cheap way to try B&W inkjet printing, and for
  what I managed to gather the combination C86 + MIS inks seems the
  easiest way to get into it; problem is: I can't source a C86 in the UK,
  its successor is the D88 which seems to have different part numbers for
  the catridges, does anyone know if MIS B&W inks for the C86 work with
  the D88?

  Another option would be to get a R220 + MIS inks, the R220 is easily
  available, and if the results are as good (and it is as easy to use) as
  the C86 + MIS I may go down that route, has anyone tried this option?

  Finally MIS inks seems to be available only direct from the
  manufacturer, I seem unable to source them in the UK, is anyone aware
  of an UK distributor or, failing that, is there a product, available in
  the UK, that can give similar results using reasonably cheap printers?

  Thanks a lot
