re: MIS inks - CIS - alternatives

2007-08-16 by Altaf Bhimji

hi,

Thanx for the info. Linda, on inkrepublic, they look a lot more  
cleaner in their installation --- I have been considering getting a  
CIS - 'cause I'm printing a lot more these days... and those Epson  
catridge costs add up pretty fast.


So, to get some clarification on this discussion, the problems with  
MIS appears to be with their CFS system and carts? But the MIS inks  
are OK? So, I could get the inkrepublic CIS system, but still use the  
MIS K4 inks?

How does MIS K4 compare with the ink for R2400 that inkrepublic is  
selling?
