Not an answer to the 7th channel question

I would not recommend MIS refillable carts for 2200 - I think they still sell the sponge variety. I had a lot of problems with these carts and UT7. Better buy spongless carts - virtually all of the ones on ebay are spongless with a self-resetting chip.  I bought mine from inkjetcart.us (same price or cheaper than ebay). I run them in 2100/2200 with UT7.  I print very little  and printer sits idle most of the time, but have very few clog problems. The other advantage of self-resetting carts is that you can refill them in printer which again reduces clogging.  Maybe MIS have finally moved over to spongeless, then it is OK, but I would definitely avoid MIS if they still sell carts with sponge.

I have not used MIS CFS (nor any other CFS),  but again I believe that there are much better designs around. I understand that currently the best version is the CFS with dampers (instead of full-fledged carts) as sold by Jon Cone, Inkrepublic, inkjetcart.us and others.

But the next day a channel is gone, and once I get it running, another channel has dropped out. I've decded to go to individual refillable MIS carts, so that pulling a cart doesn't mean disturbing its neighbors. I was going to fill the empty carts with the UT7 inks, but on second thought I will adopt Paul's new C-6 setup, using MIS Base.
