Hello Mike,
	I've been using a NoMoreCarts CIS and Generations ink on my 
1200 for 9 months and 1160 for one month. As many on the list will 
testify, it's one of the greatest inventions since the inkjet 
printer. Very easy to set up and essentially trouble-free in 
operation. I haven't kept count, but I would guess I have printed 2 
or 3 hundred 8.5x11 and several dozen 11x17. Not much by some 
people's standards, but enough to know the CIS works superbly.
	Whether of not you can leave the printer turned off for days 
at a time depends, I think, more on the ink you are using than a CIS. 
I've left my 1200 off for a week and had it print a perfect nozzle 
check the first time I turned it on. Other times I've had to run a 
cleaning cycle, but one is all it takes. I can't be sure, but it 
seems to me the longer I use these inks the fewer bad nozzle checks I 
get. Anyone else found that?
	I think it is important to turn the printer off when not 
using it so the print head can park properly on the resting pad.

Regards,
Roger Smith
