Digital BW, The Print

BTW, using the third-party inks and refillable carts I figure that my cost-per-refill is in the neighborhood of five cents a cart. That’s a lot better than paying about $20 for an Ep$on cart!!!!!!  And yes, I have compared identical prints from Ep$on carts and my refills and the colors are indeed identical. I don’t know about longevity but after all they are dye inks…

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
