The 4M's are a workhorse.   I've only had good experiences with them.  
Other than the occasional maintenance kit, they cruise along fine.  And 
I have pushed those things up to about 6 million prints before they got 
so bad as to replace the maintenance kit.  I think the "limit" was a 
million or somthing like that.
