First of all, I see somewhere people mention MIS, what is that?
MIS associates which is a company http://www.inksupply.com
Secondly, I just got a HP 5440 using 92/93 cartridges. I can't find any US online store carrying CISS for it. I researched online and found that it is a smaller capacity cartridge but same as 94/95 or 96/97. I also emailed a few sellers on eBay and only reply that I can use his CIS that is for 94/95 on my printer. I am just wondering if anyone have recommendations or opinion about any HP CISS they have used before.
No idea about your particular model but if it's anything like the HP K550 or 1100 models then it's already got a CIS style system pre-build into the kit.
The cartridges in this scenario are static and instead you have a printhead (or printheads) that move with a rather stiff tubing that feeds them from the carts.
The cartridges are reasonable enough for standard use but you can choose to find some refillable cartridges with reset chips (some are autoreset type) and refill manually or as I've done for the hell of it, convert them to use a bigger ink supply by adding some fittings, tubing and connecting the cartridges to 250ml bottles of compatible ink.
Works fine but for most people it's overkill and refilling should be plenty unless you print reams of paper per week.
