MIS VM Inkset/Epson 1280/Macintosh/CIS

MIS VM Inkset/Epson 1280/Macintosh/CIS

2002-05-28 by mgvonk

I have been using MIS VM prefilled cartridges to print to my
Epson 1280 printer from my Macintosh G4 laptop.  I would like 
to use a continuous inking system.  I had ordered a Niagara system
from mediastreet.com but the original Niagara systems are no longer
available.  They have a new Niagara II system, but they only come
prefilled with the Generations or Plug and Play inksets.  I don't 
want the ink and the Niagara II is not available without ink.

I want to use the MIS VM inks.  Any ideas on how to do this
with a CIS on a Macintosh?

... www.inkjetgoodies.com still has the original Niagara under 
the "NoMoreCarts" name for the 1280, and is a MIS dealer as well.

The MIS CFS didn't used to work well on MACs, because there was no 
way to easily reset the cartridge chip.  Now there is.  MIS is now 
selling a Chip resetter that works with the Cartridge still in the 
printer, even with a MAC.
Check the "what's new" section of the MIS site.  The MIS CFS is the 
best deal around.

All the best
