Digital BW, The Print

Ken,

I didn't really think of swapping the cartridges in/out because I've never
had much luck with this technique. I've plugged with specially made rivets,
taped, etc., but "things" just seem to always dry out and/or not work. Maybe
I let 'em sit too long! ;>) Being a former New Englander myself I fully
appreciate the frugality of your approach. Thanks for tossing in your 2
cents because I don't have any real experience with the Septone system; just
relating things that I'd heard or read.

I will say, however, that over the years, in general, I've had more issues
with CIS systems, refillable cartridges and third-party inks, than I've ever
had out of standard Epson cartridges. That's why I finally decided to go
with ImagePrint for both color and B&W. It works great, it's simplicity in
itself to use, and the results are fantastic! I have not had any of the
issues with IP that many have written about on this forum and others.
