Re: Beating the chips on a 1280

2001-11-13 by Martin Wesley

Todd,

The NoMoreCarts CIS works fine. It does do a nozzle cleaning every 
time you turn on the printer and asks if you really want to use these 
non-Epson carts. Minor annoyance. There is still the weakness of the 
drooping support arm that needs to me checked occasionally.

The MIS system that uses real Epson carts and a software workaround 
sounds better in theory but I have not heard any feedback yet.
