Digital BW, The Print

The software that you get when you buy Piezo has the drivers for all the 
printers on one disk. So you could buy whatever their cheapest cartridge 
kit is, then buy the CIS and MIS inks separately. You could give 
away/sell the Piezo cartridges that won't be able to use to someone else.

This is a problem, no way around it. The cis is essential IMO. So what you
could do is buy the kit and sell the inks to someone on the Piezo list. BTW
for the price you'll get for the inks you can get 4 pints of FS!
