Digital BW, The Print

I was in-lab with Jon the other day and he somewhat jokingly showed me how he fills the EasyFills with the vapor-nib that is in each InkjetMall ink bottle. They fit into the mycapsule inlet perfectly. No needle needed. I still do the traditional needle but hey, it seems to work just from the IJM bottles now. I guess I'll convert to his new way shortly.

ps: We are in the process of testing CIS for the 1430. Resetting these EasyFills all the time can be distracting to long extended print-sessions. (Something we are doing a lot in the new platinum darkroom.) Will post once we know it’s a totally solid and dependable product.

regards,
Walker
R&D & IJM

With the first 1430, I tried, and had issues with all sorts of normal carts so thought that I would give them a try on the second. I have no idea  whether one is better than the other. They work well for me so I immediately lose interest in further research.

A bit of research led me to this: http://www.octoink.co.uk/pages/SquEasyFill.html <http://www.octoink.co.uk/pages/SquEasyFill.html> To my simple mind, these are brilliant. I am clumsy on a good day, having knocked over bottles while refilling and then having to clean up the mess. With these, you fill the bottles infrequently.
