Digital BW, The Print

Ernst,

From reading this it makes me aware of how much Epson truely hates the 
idea of any other company producing and selling inks for their machines. How 
much of this improved design is another attempt to outflank the competion, not 
just the monochrome ink companies but the color pigment companies like 
Media Street and MIS.

On a related note, I just spoke with the specialist who deals with the 10K 
pressurized carts they use for 10K Generations pigments. He said the 
supplier tells him the problems of bad glue that caused leakage has been 
fixed, but he seems not 100% sure of the results because so few people are 
actually using them, probably only 6 individuals total. Strange. Lyson doesn't 
answer email, even stranger.

The reason to use
special carts may be related to a one way valve in the normal carts that
makes it impossible to refill them c.q. makes it impossible to let the
ink flow back in the cart (but the last is already impossible in the
10000 with the electric valves in the inkline, yet it has the same one
way valves in the carts).
