Re: Has anyone here actually managed to print an image?

I have an r1800 and I use Paul Roark's 3mk process.   I along with many others on this forum have had no issues.   

I use the sponge less refillable carts from MIS with ebony.

I have tried other 3rd party cartridges, non MIS, in the color slots and i had problems resetting the chips.
