Re: [Digital BW] Refillable carts...why remove them to refill?

2010-08-27 by gmikol

Mike--

Thanks for the warning, but I have a follow-up question. The R1900 cartridges aren't pressurized, right? So how would it be possible to force ink through the head. I may understand this more once I get the cartridges in-hand, but until then, I'm hoping you can help me out.

Also, can you tell me what cartridges you use for your R1900's?

Thanks--

Greg
