Digital BW, The Print

Well less than a year ago I bought a new Epson 4800 over the 3800 and
Canon IPF5000 for its ability to use Piezography inks.I still have not
got around to ordering a set of Cone inks yet.So with this whole law
suit deal I'm wondering what move to make next.The 4800 empty cart set
at Inkjet mall is 390.00.I can't afford the carts and the bottles of
ink all at once right now.So do I buy the cart set now hoping they
will last the life of the printer, and get the bottles of inks later?I
certainly can't afford two sets of empty carts right now.Also will
Cone continue to manufacture the inks after the last carts are gone?I
don't want to invest all this money if these carts only last for
several fillings and Cone stops making the inks because of the
situation.I guess this is aimed mostly at Jon Cone, but if anyone else
has any ideas I'm game.Like everyone else I'm bummed at the
situation.I've used Piezography as well as MIS in the past and really
hate to see it go.
