Re: MIS Ink cartridges and Epson R220 and R340 printers

2007-01-17 by Philip Schwartz

I should have made it clear in my previous posts: the MIS spongeless
cartridges are top notch. I have several sets and use them in a C86
and two R200s. Except for an occasional clog due to an air bubble, all
the irritating problems I experience are related to chips, and you can
thank Epson for burdening users with this miserable architecture. It
is fiddly, but it can be made to work. I think a chip resetter is a
required tool for the smaller Epsons, even if you purchase prefilled
cartridges. I once received a UT-R2N cart that was labelled R2W. Other
than that, I haven't experienced any QA lapses from MIS.
