Mitchell -- thanks for the encouragement.  Yes, at some
point, perhaps soon, I'm going to have to give it another
go.  The thing about going s l o w is something I believe
now...

I'm surprised at the numbers -- amazed that the 1160, with
only 3 colors, has a smaller ink volume, per color, than
the 1200.  Pissed off is more like it.  I measured 15 ml
max (opened OEM cartridge, no sponge.)

But you do have to allow some value for your time...
an hour per cart is significant.

I think the Generations inks have lots of promise.
Maybe even try the Archiva again, if I get some good measuring 
gear and just do the whole batch, up front.  (I have 
about 100 ml left of each color.)

Thanks for the report.  Where did you get the thin
needles?
