Digital BW, The Print

There are already techniques for taking apart the original Epson carts
and refilling them with whatever you want if one decides not to go the
route of the cfs. 

I'm thinking more and more a really good cfs design is what we're
headed for. The the whole issues of chips and carts becomes moot and
Epson will still have to pay those attorney fees. Really cfs equals
huge savings in the long run for all size machines.If I were a MIS
engineer I would be putting my thoughts in that direction. A cfs
system that reads the ink levels and possibly has a vacum that keeps
air out of the lines. Now that would be sweet and we wouuld buy our
ink by the gallons not by the mili-liter. At that point Epson would
have to choice but to offer the finest ink in the world to keep up.
