Digital BW, The Print

The MIS inks for the 2400 are wonderful. I use the refillable spongeless 
cartridges. The black and white prints are exceptional as well as the color. I 
feel this is the best solution today, as the inks can easily be swapped out. It 
took me a couple of refills before I could refill the cartridge without getting 
any ink on my hands. I started with a continuous ink system on a 2200. The 
system worked well for about two years. I print a lot, so this was many prints. 
Eventually, the cartridges developed a clog that I couldn't fix. I still think 
the CIS system was cost effective, based on the number of prints that were 
made. The problem with continuous ink systems is swapping to different inks is 
pretty much out of the question. That's the advantage of the refillable 
cartridges. With this set-up, one has the ability to make great glossy, matte, or 
black and white prints all with one printer and one set of inks.

Agree. MIS inks are very good in the 2400 and the savings are great. 
B&W and colour are just as good as Epson ink on satin / pearl papers. 
The MIS ink is not quite as glossy as Epson on glossy paper and as a 
result shows a very small degree of bronzing. However unless you are 
comparing Epson and MIS ink prints side by side I don't think many 
people would be able to tell the difference. I do not use matte papers 
so cannot comment on that media. Ilford Pearl and Olmec Satin work very 
well with MIS K4 ink. The easyfill carts work and so far I have had 
trouble free cheap printing.

Also MIS are very helpful and shipping to the UK is hassle free. 
Excellent company.
