Inkjetgoodies refillable carts, MIS & 1280...

is anyone here using or has used that combo?  I've been using 
Piezotone Seleniums (prefilled carts), but they are SO expensive 
(they are wonderful, however).  

I have some of my same images, thanks to a friend, using the MIS 
Full Spectrum Neutrals printed on an 1160.  When my friends compare 
the two (MIS & 1160 vs Piezotone & 1280), they prefer the MIS 
(Enhanced Gen. Black).  My question is, has anyone here used the 
Inkjetgoodies refillable carts for Epson and the MIS inks?  I'd like 
to hear your thoughts.  I can't go CIS right now, can't afford it.  
I'm using the Inkjetgoodies refillables for Canon s900 and love it.  

Thanks for any responses.

Treadwinkle,

I use virgin cartridges to fill FS (and other) inks for my 1280 all 
the time.  I buy the T009 and T007 carts from MIS because they sell 
them without the chip for ~ $5 less than InkjetGoodies with the 
chip.  I reuse the chips by using one of those resetting gizmos.  
Vacuum filling is not difficult, but it will take a couple of tries 
to get the method down pat.  Make sure you get at least six sets of 
septums ($10 each at MIS), so you don't have to clean/dry them 
between filling each chamber.

Good luck.

The MIS CFS system for a 1280 is only $137 and that's complete
including the chip resetter. I have one for my 1280 and recommend
them. I know you said a CFS wasn't within your budget, but that's not
a lot more than the carts. You might want to see if you could scrape
up another $70.

I should have said "vacuum fill kit" which contains a septum.  On MIS 
site go to accesories, and you will find the kit (VVF-KIT) there.  
You will also need one vacuum pump (CFS-VP.

Just so you know, over the long haul a CFS or CIS unit is cheaper on 
ink and time.  The reason I choose to fill my own carts is because I 
am alays experimenting with different inks.

Good luck.
