Re: [Digital BW] Cone Ink Sets, Weird Spots, and CIS

2007-11-28 by Harry Lockwood

Chris,

I¹m on my second set of Cone carts on the 2400, and I can say that, after
some initial issues with the lid not closing properly, I¹ve had no problems
whatsoever.  The prints are beautiful in their smooth tonal rendition.
Having said that, however, the high cost of non-refillable carts is
daunting.  To solve this problem, I will go the CIS route.

Just yesterday, I took delivery of the Efillink Pro (empty cart) system; I
will install it, with Cone inks, when the present carts are depleted.
Obviously, I can¹t recommend Efillink at this stage.  I bought it on the
basis of what I saw on their web site (do go there) and the recommendation
of a user on this forum.

I¹ll report back after the system is up and running.  I¹ve got my fingers
crossed.

Harry
