Digital BW, The Print

I'm not sure if there is a difference between CIS and CFS?  
They're the same concept I presume.

Is it correct most people set up with 4oz bottles? Instead of larger 
Pints?  I'm a typical overkill buyer :-) but trying to cut back on 
that impulse.

Some of this doesn't make sense until you consider a purhcase, 
therefore the questions get asked again & again.

I recall the recommendation of the "niagra" system available at MIS 
but not sure I would (or do) currently understand the differences of 
what's being offered at either Inkjetart.com or Inkjetmall.com


Thanks,

Cleavis

Cleavis,

go to nomorecarts.com site for more info. The buzz I hear is in favor of their 
product (of which I own 2). If you are using CIS on a chipped printer (1270 
etc), make sure whatever you choose overrides the Epson chip in an elegant 
way. Conetech and Mediastreet (Niagra) have both adopted nomorecarts for 
their product line. Pretty good endorsement in my book.

Cleavis,

I wouldn't run with pints. Buy pints by all means, but always pour into the
standard 4oz bottles provided with the Niagara-type systems of MediaStreet
et al. This is a rebranded NoMoreCarts CIS ... the system at MIS is NOT a
NoMoreCarts CIS, but their own make.

Many people do like the MIS 'CFS' but it looks like a lot more hassle to me,
and somehow just seems a little less 'complete' - especially when it comes
to chipped carts (like 1270 / 80 / 90) where I believe the NMC CIS / Niagara
wins hands-down!

Best regards,
Nij

FYI:  Lumijet now has their own CFS, on paper it looks like NoMoreCarts
CIS.  It uses the chip carts.  For 1270/80 only
at this time.

Cleavis-

The one advantage the CFS has over the nomorecarts flavors is that 
there is a filter screen at the bottom of the carts to keep junk from 
hitting and clogging the heads. The creature comforts (very easy to 
prime, set up and critical for chipped cart printers to reset the 
cart to full automatically) heavily favor the nomorecarts version.

I am using one with MIS FS by the way and in about 2 months of 
printing and nearly the full 4oz. Bottle gone, have never had a clog 
that didn't resolve with a single nozzle check and clean.
