I just cleared up a problem on my pigment loaded 1270 with a couple of cleaning cycles. The difference in price between MIS inks and Epson's is enough to keep me in the after market market. The quality and longevity of pigment inks is another plus. As far as the printing heads being in the ink cartridge? The fact that Epson has be miles ahead of the other leading brands has been attributed to the head design. One other thing, the 2200 series was designed for pigments. Heck of a good machine and capable of black only printing. The 2400 is supposed to be great but can't print black only.
