Re: MIS' continuous ink system, and inks?

Nothing against the MIS CFS system as I'm sure it is a good system, but I 
for one don't want to have to leave my cover off or cut a hole in it to 
install a CIS/CFS system. I also don't want to be bothered with banding in 
the 360DPI mode. Hopfully this will be taken care in the near future. I also 
recieved a vacumn system with my CIS w/o the extra cost. Syringes and me 
never got along too well when refilling or trying to refill a cartridge. For 
those people trying to decide rather to buy the vacumn pump with there CFS 
system I would strongly advise buying it. If your like me it will be $10 
well spent.
