Re: Removing CIS for a Few Days

They crack without doing a thing to them.  My first one cracked on slight 
contact with Epson ink (checked out a new printer and removed the Epson 
carts) and the lucite pieces fell off, so I was basically left with rivets.  
When I emailed nomorecarts, I was told this was the first time they had ever 
heard of cracking.  They did send a replacement however.  That one cracked 
too.  They should replace the lucite with some other material.
