Re: Switching black inks - Epson 4800

2007-03-25 by Tyler Boley

if your 4800 is anything like the 9800, it won't let you do it. Will simply not let you 
proceed with the wrong cart. We had a work around with the x600s, but no one has 
cracked the x800s that I know of.
Good idea though, and no reason why we should be "allowed" to do it.
