Digital BW, The Print

I¹m a bit confused by this message, djon.  The MIS inks I¹m referencing are
carbon pigments.  What doesn¹t make sense in using refillable cartridges,
with pigment inks, in the 2400?

With the 1160, I had no serious clogging issues when I printed frequently.
But when it sat for a time unused, it was sometimes a bear to unclog.
Finally, after a long period of inactivity the bear won, and I scrapped the
CIS system in favor of the 2400.  The 1160 now works fine with Epson inks.

Sorry if I missed your point.

group.  In other forums, people go batty over top posting.]
