Digital BW, The Print

I've been quite pleased with MIS EZ inks in two C84s and now a C88.  (I 
have an 84 and the 88 loaded with the MIS ink, while the other 84 is a 
backup - has Epson carts for the occasional color work unless and until 
I need it for B&W work.) The C88 is an Epson refurb that I think I paid 
$49 for, including shipping.  They are not the longest lasting devices - 
I wore out a C84 in about 3000 sheets - but that's still less than 2 
cents per letter size print in printer cost.  Even in bulk the MIS EZ 
ink costs more than that.

Cheers,
Kip
