Re: Refillable cartridges for Epson 1280

2005-04-16 by Steven Karafyllakis

I've been using the 1280 carts since they were released, with 
absolutely no problems. I should mention that when I got them, there 
were no filler-hole plugs, so I've been using silicone, which may be a 
more secure way of closing the fill port. IOW I suspect many of the 
problems relate to air leakage through the fill port changing the flow-
rate of the cart. Pre-filled carts are obviously easier, but they are 
much more expensive, and in that color cart wastefull since you never 
deplete all chambers of ink. I reccommend you give the refilling a try, 
you can always switch back.
