Digital BW, The Print

I don't have the printer, I'm using prints from another person to do 
some fade testing. The Merlin Natural went through in 4x6 but he said a 
full size sheet was too much. So it looks like this printer will be 
for "consumer" use. I'm still surprised by the poor Dmax on matte 
papers, the only one that was close to acceptable was the matte paper 
heavyweight with a Lab L similar to 15.

And I again with what John Moody said, why bother? I haven't checked 
for metamerism yet, but I'll take your word for it, and the performance 
on matte paper is truly generations old. K3 would be a better choice at 
this point. The only reason I might want one of these is for printing 
onto disks, but maybe it's not time to replace my old Lexmark Z25 (or 
is it Z23) printer for this task.

I do have some empty carts on the way, but I will not be able to make a 
chip reset tool. I was only going to look into the refilling aspects 
for the eventuality that Epson has made this in such a way that third 
party carts are not (legally) possible.
