Digital BW, The Print

Are you refilling your own cartridges? or just buying pre-filled ones?

I just started refilling my own UT-2 cartridges in my 1280 and have had 
a tough time getting clean nozzle checks. I'm convinced that it's an 
air/foam issue though, not clogging (I get clean nozzle checks when I 
put in an Epson OEM color cartridge).

I'm going to wait a couple more days for the ink in the cartridge to 
"settle down" before trying to refill again.
