Digital BW, The Print

With the CFS on my printer all I need to do is look at the bottles to see
exactly how much ink I have left.  The CFS is, IMHO, the best thing that has
happened to inkjet printing. I no longer have to rely on any screwball
algorithms to tell me when to replace a cart. I have the spongeless carts on
my CFS so I intend to keep it in service for a very long time and just buy
bottles of ink as necessary as long as bulk ink remains available.

Just my 2 cents...

Best,
Tom

But are the cartridges then bone dry Bob, or still have 30% left in them, as

has been suggested in earlier posts?

Not sure what printer you are using, but my Epson R2400 gives me much more
useful info than you suggest.

The first warning that I will need a new cart comes when the ink is down to
20% in a cart, and the last when it is down to 5% (and it tells me those
percentages), and when it gets to 0% it stops and requests me to change the
cart.

In between, it gives me messages like the current one, saying that I can
print about 25 more pages like the last one before I need a new cart.

All in all, very helpful reminders.

Bob Frost.
