Digital BW, The Print

Sorry for sending this originally with wrong header (which rip)
I sent this to color list also....might be some overlap

Wanting to try some different inks in my 1270 printer, I figured that 
using a nomorecarts cis solution would be the way to go, but recently 
noticed the trouble some people are having. Also, it seems like it 
would be a pain to keep changing inksets using one of those units. 
Whether that is the case or not, I don't mind filling carts, just 
want to know if reliable chipped carts exist that work well.  I can 
fill a lot of carts ( while watching the nightly news) for the $250 
tag of a cis.

Looking at...

http://www.inksupply.com/index.cfm?source=html/cartridges.html

...I noticed that MIS sells chipped cartridges filled with their own 
pigment archival ink...They are convenient, though expensive.  They 
also sell T009 and TOO7  empty cartridges.  Chips are extra.  They 
sell a chip re_setter to show full condition when cartridges are 
loaded.

Does anyone on this list use this MIS virgin ink cartridge system and 
if so is it working ok?  What are poppets?  Are they the little metal 
studs that go into the bottom of the cartridge to keep the ink from 
leaking out?

Any on or off-forum information anyone has would be helpful.  I use 
this system for an 1160, but never with a chipped printer.
