Re: Bulk inksets

2004-07-16 by Steve Kale

An alternative to trying to jam Eboni on RC which is like trying to jam a round peg into a 
square hole is to buy the CFS with Eboni in the K position chipped MK (rather than the 
Universal Black) and then also buy a prefilled Photo Black cart (with tube attached) and a 
4oz bottle of Photo Black.  Then when you want to switch to RC paper you can then swap 
the blacks a la Epson cartridges albeit ever so slightly more convoluted. 

The only issue with this is that the MIS carts are not self sealing and so you need to seal 
the cart you are not using.  I think there are rivets that you can get to plug the whole in 
the unused cart.  Can someone else provide me with the MIS webpage for these rivets (I 
could not find it)?

See the bottom of this page:

MIS rapes you a little for the tube attached.  An empty black cartridge with tube attached 
is $30.  A filled black cartridge with tube attached is $31.  An empty black cartridge 
without tube is $4.45.

Your choice as to whether you can be fussed messing with adding a tube to an empty 
yourself....

I think a CFS is a worthwhile investment as it significantly beats the cost of buying ink 
from Epson by the cartridge.
