Right but MIS promise them for April, not much time left then.
Lyson has Cave inks ready, the equivalent of Ultrachrome so a
colour set. And they all have the resetter, carts etc from yet
another company.

Of course you could empty full Ultrachrome carts and fill them
with B&W inks, it is legal but expensive.

There are already DIY hacks done on 9600 carts, the image of
desktop model cart chips can be copied it seems. But that's now
done in quarantaine to give you a hint. Eddie's hack of the
2200/2100 carts isn't that far from a hack needed for the pro
models. I wonder what DMCA acts can do on DIY hacks, it is a kind
of karaoke, the tune is played but you have to find your own
words. I thought about "Genuine Epson ..........is not in this
cart but a true quad is"
