Re: [Digital BW] Zeroing in on CIS

I would also consider the efillink CIS. The hardware, in my opinion is much superior to the Niagra and I have used all three systems.

  Harry,

  I have a Niagra CIS in an old Epson 1280 with Cone K6 inks. It produces a
  beautiful matt print - far better than even the quadtone Cone Inks I used
  before. Compared to the quadtone system, I picked up a whole new range of
  subtlety that was missing.

  In my opinion, a CIS is the only way to go once you have decided on a
  particular inkset for a desktop printer. The cost per print and capacity
  are far better than individual cartridges. The Niagra CIS is well thought
  out and easy to install.

  I am sure that the same will be true for your 2400. Depending on your
  application, you may want to wait a little. Cone is releasing an MPS inkset
  that will work with glossy and matt papers with 6 dilutions of ink and a
  gloss optimizer for the 2400 and other 7 ink printers.

  Best Regards,

  George Pappas

  I'm about to commit to a CIS system for my R2400.

  Although I was a steady customer of MIS back in the day of my 1160, I'm now
  looking 
  seriously at the Cone K7 system.

  If I have it right, this consists of the ACC-N4S-R2400 (Niagra IV from Media
  Street) feeding 
  system coupled with seven (+1) 4-oz bottles of grayscale inks from Cone.

  I haven't read much about this system here, so I'd like to get some feedback
  from current 
  users.

  TIA

  Harry
