Digital BW, The Print

Cleavis,

It is due to the 100% full chips that the system comes with them (the
version sourced from NoMoreCarts anyway).
Translation: This solution (the 100% full chips) may be a bit more expensive
than comparable systems that rely on chip reprogrammers, software systems to
reprogram (where you must run a certain type of system, with the printer
connected on parallel - generally not so good for Mac users).

Bluntly, in my view the system is still fantastically worthwhile, and should
still save you money, and still gives you choice over ink type where
previously there was none.

Try and source a non-chipped printer if you don't like it!
