RE: [Digital BW] Re: Troubleshooting Epson Artisan 1430 -- nozzle checks failing

Paul,

 

I’m always fearful of contaminating a cart so I use a dedicated syringe and needle for each color. I’ve been doing this for quite a few years now and have it down to an absolute science. I keep the inks and syringes next to the printer and can remove a cart, fill it and replace it almost as quickly as just switching carts.

 

But as you say to each his own and the best solution is the one that works the best for you!!!!!

Tom,

Actually I'm quite familiar with filling refillable carts but it's always been black or various dilutions of black for a couple of inksets in Epson printers. It's been fairly easy mainly because I use only one syringe, rinsing it thoroughly between carts. Do you use a separate syringe for each color? The Easy-Fill technique looks even easier, if I understand correctly you can buy the ink in disposable plastic sacks that fit into the shell - the shell contains the chip. Might be more expensive per fill however.

Perhaps Jeff will chime in here. To each his own, I guess!

Best regards,

Paul
