3rd party CFS/CIS with R2400 - experience?

[biggerjon]

i have recently purchased an Epson R2400 and have been extremely pleased with

B+W printing using the Advanced B+W mode with Epson Archival matte papers.

 

having got to the point where i now need to consider some replacement Ink I

wondered if anyone out there had experience of the many Continuous flow systems

that are available. I have looked at the sites for MIS, Lyson and Fotospeed

which all proport to be " as good as K3" . Does anyone out there have

expirience of using these systems with the R2400? I am quite prpeared to put

the work in as far as custom profiles are concerned ( would i need to using Ad

B+W mode?). Any pointers on this would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks

Jon: Realize that using a CFS and using 3rd party inks are independent.

 

I used a MIS CFS for several years but now use refillable carts.

 

I've used MIS inks for many years but just got a 2400 and haven't put the MIS K4 inks in there yet. So I won't be able to answer how the MIS K4 works in a 2400 for another week. But I know their inks work well in other Epson printers.

thanks for the responses.

Bob, I understand the 3rd party and CFS can be independent, guess I am looking at going the whole hog to safe some fiddling with refilling etc.

 

have seen the MIS website and am considering importing to the UK. I would be interested to hear how you get on with them. having used the adv B and W setting with the R2400 i am scared of losing that neutrallity by messing with the inks that are being used! And the question of longevity and meterism/meteremerism/memmeterismser guess you know what i mean !

 

thanks for the reply

let me know how you get on with them in the 2400 ( lovely machine! )
