Tony, Jon Cone's PiezographyBW6 IS already available for the
Epson 1200. The 6-tone inkset is supplied only in prefilled
cartridges, so a continuous ink supply system is not an
option. According to reports on the Piezography mailing list
this Epson 1200 setup works well, but no better than a
4-tone printer like the Epson 1160 (for which CIS is an
option).
