Re: Refilling Carts

2003-05-28 by Johnny Eades

Hello Bill,

Go to the website for MIS inks www.inksupply.com and find the page 
that gives the instructions on refilling your particular printer's 
cartridge. I've been refilling mine with very little trouble since 
getting my 1280 printer earlier this year.

Your friend in Photography,


Johnny Eades
