Digital BW, The Print

My 2200 crapped out about a month and a half after the warranty 
expired. I'm planning on a 2400 as I wish to do some color as well, 
but have the intent of using MIS's K4 inks for obvious cost issues. 
(will be using QTR/IJC for my B&W)

 so after much searching through the archives, I have yet to find any 
viable solution to refillable cartridges or CIS's.

 since it is my understanding that MIS is not selling virgin empties 
at this time, and may not again, does anyone know of a CIS or 
refillable carts for the 2400 that have presented no, or relative 
little difficulty and work well. (leaking, ease of refill, 
reliability) 

 I realize that this issues has been covered before, but i have yet 
to read anyone saying "yes, i use these/this and they are just as 
good and reliable as the ones MIS are selling", or "this CIS works as 
good and reliable as any cart I've used".

 I know everyone feels the same pain I do, but is there an answer 
aside from letting Epson tell me how I HAVE to use my printer once I 
have bought it? I don't even want to think of the cost of the Epson 
ink!


 thanks to all of you who offer so much help and time to others
