I shop at MIS, inksupply.com.
inks are here:
http://inksupply.com/index.cfm?source=html/quadinks.html
for FS (for EPSON DRIVER!!!):
MIS FULL SPECTRUM HEXTONES - 6 Color Printers with Epson driver ONLY.
for VM:
MIS VARIABLE MIX HEXTONES - 6 Color Printers with Epson driver.

my favorite combination is the "MIS ULTRATONE B&W" in the C,LC,and Y
positions, and the VM inks in the M and LM positions.

I'd love to see other 2000P users list thier favorite inks..?
 

> 2) Where do you get the chip resetter?
also from MIS, but it was part of a flow system I never attached.
there are better ones I imagine. ask at MIS..!


> 3) What kind of syringe do you need to load the carts? Do you have
to clean
> it between loading each shade?

I use the 10cc syringes, and six of the "Lure Lock Blunt Needle 19 ga
1 1/2" Long" also from MIS:
http://inksupply.com/index.cfm?source=html/accessory.html

I use a separate one for each ink and then rinse them all out
afterward with hot water.


> 4) Is there a trick to changing chips, or do they just pop in and out?

the chips pop in and out, though sometimes it takes a 2 or 3 reset
attempts to get the printer to believe along with me..!

> 5) Anything else non-obvious about doing this?

all the refilling will cause you to go through many many cleaning
cycles, thus getting your 2000P to its waste pad limit and requiring
service. that's why I am on my second... since the first one was well
beyond its warranty time, it would have cost more to service it than
it was to purchased a refurbished one with another year's worth of
service coverage.

good luck!

Tom
