No offense meant, but come back in 3 months and let us know how that
CIS is still working. My Ink Republic CIS has been going for 3 years
(I think, can't really remember right now, might be 4 years) and has
seen more reams of paper pass through the CX6600 than I can even try
to remember. I'm starting to wear the printer out as there are a few
squeeks when it is working now, so I would say it was well worth the
high cost because it has been absolutely problem free since the first day.

As far as the inks, yes Image Specialists makes very high quality
inks, and I have been using them and recommending them for many years.
But I will give you one key to success. The Image Specialists pigment
inks tend to build up on the head cleaner (rubber wiper),so keep that
clean and they should not give you problems.
