Digital BW, The Print

Hey you guys.. I don't have a 4900 so I guess I should stay out of it.. Do have a 4800 and it for sure is not pressurized nor is the 4880..  or what ever they call it.. I honestly do remember reading on an Epson blog that the 4900 was not pressurized but if they dealt with that .. well.... kool.. 

Ok moving on the 10k.. John Dean posted a great set of instructions including pics on how to refill the 10k carts.. ( By the way he's my hero.. we both ate shit getting this stuff to work)  I can't find it so if anyone still has it lets get it back up there. I know it's an older printer but it really worked well.. A plus to the 10k was that when you turned it on it worked ..So you didn't have to fool around un plugging anything... only 6 shades but honestly very workable.. The carts are unique for the 10k. no other printer takes them.. Jon took this on and we had to buy a fancy Rip for it..big bucks.. It worked well but spendy.. I do remember that I think QTR was supporting the printer on a version.. I say that as we were having some slot assignment issues and Jon's support person had me download an iteration of it so we could resolve an issue.. Respectfully .. the ole 10k may not measure up to many here for color work but quite frankly it was awesome for B&W work.. no kidden.. It's best attribute was that it was like a Timex watch.. It just kept ticken.. I still have one in operation here.. and it looking like it gong to outlast me..

  Mark,



  I received three near empty OEM 4900 carts, Photo Black, T6531, 200 ml etc. Took one apart. There is no pressurised chamber with an ink bag inside, no air inlet either. It surprised me as I had some 3880 carts that show the construction for pressurised ink feeding.


  Paul, was there no written instruction with the images for refilling the 10000 carts?  I did send the images and the text to John Dean many moons ago.
