Digital BW, The Print

I really have to ask.

Has anyone, anyone without a working relationship with MIS, ever received
these inks for the Epson C84/C86.

My order started with cartridges.

Back-ordered.

On the list I heard it was only Photo Black that was back-ordered and
another member said he removed it from his order and shipped.

I called to try and do the same thing, but no, it wasn't the Photo Black
that was back-ordered, it was the cyan cartridge.

I decided that I would probably be using the CFS system anyway, so I
changed my order to that.

Yes, it was in stock.

Two days later they said there was a problem with the expiration date on
my card, could I please supply the correct one. I did. They said then said
I would be getting a confirmation order at 16:30 for the shipment.

Days have gone by without that confirmation. I've repeatedly asked for a
status on the order through their help system ... no answer. I can no
longer log in and check the status of my order (probably because it got
changed manually over the phone and something went amiss). Silence.
Nothing. Nada.

So I'm really wondering if these inks really really exist for the market?
I know that very well respected users have seen them and used them, but
are they on the general market?
