Digital BW, The Print

Greg,

 

I'm inclined to explore the idea of avoiding Epson patents completely.  To
do this, I'd use large format dampers to connect the ink from a CFS to the
printer.  The chip would be an Epson OEM chip and an empty Epson cart,
modified to make room for the damper and with a resistor put in to replicate
a full cart, would hold the chip in place.  I think it might be worth
exploring this approach just in case Epson actually succeeds in wiping out
the third party cart business.  If the chips can be recycles and fooled into
telling the printer there is ink in the "car", it might just work.

 

I doubt I'd do this myself, but I suspect those who make CFS types of
products might want to follow up on this rather obvious approach to the
problem.

For those interested, here is a forum that has dissected the Claria 
carts. It's in Russian so you better break out bablefish.
