CIS shopping (was Re: [Digital BW] Cost per print? using Epson1160 and MIS inks)

2002-02-10 by Sam A. McCandless

In my recent 1160 CIS shopping, InkJetArt.com was a little less 
expensive than MediaStreet.com for me. Because the CIS cost enough to 
qualify for free shipping at InkJetArt.com.

I assume that's not why InkJetArt.com left the instructions out and 
MediaStreet sent me two copies of the CIS instructions with their 
CIS-Gen4 bundle. Or why InkJetArt didn't respond to my e-mail inquiry 
when I wrote to ask about my order after I got my MediaStreet order 
but still had not, a few days later, gotten my InkJetArt order.

The big CIS-related bargain, however, if they work, is the 
cart-plugging rivets MIS sells for pennies apiece on InkSupply.com. 
The other two sell acrylic cartridge stands for about as much as the 
acrylic bottle stands.

The bottle stands, incidentally, add enough to the width of the 
printer to make installation and refilling awkward for me. If any of 
the web sites offering them or NoMoreCarts' itself provides 
bottle-stand dimensions, I couldn't find them. The squarish 
four-bottle stands I got are roughly 5 1/8 inches by 4 3/4 inches. 
Whereas the bottles themselves are about two inches in diameter. The 
difference will keep me from having quite enough wiggle room if I use 
the stands instead of lining the bottles up in a one-bottle deep 
column alongside the printer.
