Re: Inkjetgoodies refillable carts, MIS & 1280... (shilesh)

2003-02-24 by Shilesh Jani <shilesh.jani@smith-nephew.

I should have said "vacuum fill kit" which contains a septum.  On MIS 
site go to accesories, and you will find the kit (VVF-KIT) there.  
You will also need one vacuum pump (CFS-VP.

Just so you know, over the long haul a CFS or CIS unit is cheaper on 
ink and time.  The reason I choose to fill my own carts is because I 
am alays experimenting with different inks.

Good luck.
