Digital BW, The Print

Thanks for the info.

Actually, they do sell empty carts. If you follow the link I gave and
scroll down to the bottom, you will see the empty carts(as per my
follow-up post). Also, these same carts are for sale(from the same
vendor) on Ebay for half the price of their website(i.e. - $25.00 for
a set of 7 cartridges).

What does it mean to "drop a bit of ink when first used"?

Also, who is "Ronnie"?

I think I may go ahead and order a few sets while they're still
available. At circa $3.50 per cart, it's worth the gamble to keep my
2200 running quad-tone inks for the foreseeable future.

Thanks again,
Guy
