Only used the CIS from nomorecarts in both my printers - I never even think
of it, it just does the job

NoMoreCarts. Hands down. 15minutes to install. Perfect nozzle check right away. No clogs (crossed fingers).
I got the Niagara from Mediastreet (same unit as NMC) because of the discount on Enhanced Gen inks with purchase.

Many thanks to Julian Thomas, Stanley Shire, Martin Wesley, and Richard
Sallee, who reported on experiences with the MIS and Nomorecarts continuous
inking systems.

It appears that there is little difference between the two systems, and
that either of them, when properly installed, will give reliable service.

Decisions, decisions...
