I have been using MIS K4 in a 2400 for some time now and am 
perfectly happy with the results for colour, as long as the various 
K4/paper combos are profiled properly.  

I use the K4 ink (with the MIS carts) because I like to print both 
colour and black and white, and for the latter have now started 
using QTR with very good results on both matte and gloss papers.  In 
all, I am quite satisfied with the K4 and MIS carts, especially in 
terms of reduced ink wasteage.  When a cart is empty, I change all 
of those that are half full or less, and top them up.  This way 
there is no risk of another cart emptying if you need to run one or 
two cleaning cycles.
