Re: [Digital BW] Zeroing in on CIS

2007-09-07 by Charlie Thomson

Harry, contact Ron as below. He is of great help with his system and it is a very clean system and since it is dry, you could use any ink you might wish. I removed the Mediastreet from my 1280 and 2400 due to excessive clogs. The efillink system has been in use since 06/26/07 with no clogs. Just do not over fill the ink jugs. 1/2 to 2/3 is best. The holders match the R2400. If you should decide to use this I have one other suggestion. Let me know.


Ron E-mail Address(es):             efillinkservice@...


Good Printing, 

Charlie
