I have a epson d88 which prints very good greyscale images. I want to use a CIS with, does anyone have any experiance of using one, with this printer
so I can make some judgement on which to buy.It will need to be a GB system, as I live in england

thanks 
bob

If you mean a C88, I've had a CIS on one (well, actually a series of 
them) for about 5 years.  Got my CIS from MIS Associates, and have been 
using their EZ inks to do B&W on matte papers.  I print Christmas books 
for family, usually about 1,000 prints per season (divided up among 8-10 
books), plus a few hundred Christmas cards each year.  I don't get more 
than a few thousand prints out of a printer before it dies, but I used 
to get the printers for under $50 so I'd just replace 'em.  Now they're 
up around $100, which still isn't too bad spread over a few thousand 
prints.  I've moved the CIS without incident whenever I replaced the 
printer.

Don't know if MIS ships to GB or not.  They're at 
http://www.inksupply.com/cobra.cfm  (Oops, I see they've been renamed to 
InkSupply.)

Cheers,
Kip

I use a Superjet CIS I got off ebay (use with C13.5 home mixed). Works fine.
