Re: [Digital BW] Re: Has anyone here actually managed to print an image?

I have been using 2 Epson 1400's for the last couple of years with no 
issues..I'm using MIS UT-14 inks in their refillable carts, and Lyson XG 
color dyes in my other 1400 with Lyson "trio" carts with no known 
issues..NOTE: I am NOT using any CIS, as I am individually refilling these 
carts....Both cart types are VERY easy to re-fill, and have proven 
reliable..

I use these carts from http://stores.ebay.com/Lin-Exports in the R1900 with
Eboni and Cone inks
I have 30 or so carts in use and have never had any significant issues.
You need to follow the correct filling procedure - I create a vacuum.
Very occasionally I've had to also suck some ink with the syringe (no
needle) from the ink nozzle in the cartridge to get the ink flowing through.
