RE: [Digital BW] Re: CIS and CFS carts

2002-11-25 by Murray Zaharia

Thanks Bo and Murray.  What started out as a question of curiosity 
may well end up being far more beneficial!

I was doing some research on the latest on the CIS front for some 
colleagues here in Europe.  Now I might recommend that they just make 
their own CIS.  The question is, for someone who is technically and 
DIY savvy, how complicated is it?  I presume you

1. Clean out old Epson carts

Yes, with MIS Drain Kit

2. Drill holes in the top of each colour chamber

Drill and tap for tubing fittings

3. Glue the little tube fittings and attach the tubing

Yes, 2 part Loctite glue for plastic (Plastix)

4. Suck the ink into each chamber with a bottom fill adaptor

Use the Vacuum technique, same as what NoMoreCarts uses.
