Digital BW, The Print

In a moment of winter-solstice madness (aka marking-final-exams- 
dementia) I ordered an Epson 4880.

Ideally, I would like to use MIS Pro inks. I have been happy with  
them, and the price per ml is less than 25% of the Epson price.  
However, if Epson has their way I may have to use only their inks. In  
that event I would at least like to run the cartridges closer to drier  
that the Epson chips-and-software usually allow.

Hence the question:   Do any of the "wide format" chip setters on the  
market work with the 4880 chips?

Most of the Chinese companies seem to be going to auto-reset chips.  
DOIT International in China is now listing 4880 refillable cartridges  
with auto-reset chips, but so far I have not found any retail source.

The current Epson International Trade Commission order affects only desktop
printers.  Large format printers, including the 4800, are currently not
threatened, nor are ink sales to those with cartridges that can be
re-filled.

This just shows where the real money comes from...

I should add that Epson is suing at least one of the large format cartridge
companies.  So, they're not totally ignoring the large format market.
