If you order your ink from MIS, be sure to look at the label on the
bottles to make 
sure it's the ink that you ordered. I was seconds away from screwing
up a new CIS 
when I just happened to glance at the label on the ink bottles and
noticed that they 
had sent me the FS inkset, not the VM inkset that I had ordered! From
your 
comment, it looks like they've done this on more than one occasion.

I ordered my CIS from Inkjetart and received no instructions... just
all the parts 
thrown into a box. Everything was fine, of course, but it would have
been nice to 
receive printed instructions. I used the instructions listed on their
web site without 
problems.

One thing that I noticed is that everytime I turn my printer (870)
on, it goes through 
a charging cycle. This sometimes leaves some ink deposits on my first
print. What I 
do now is to first run a nozzle check, which usually cleans things
up. Other than 
that, I'm very happy with the way my prints are looking. Guess my
darkroom is 
going to get a little dusty ;-).
