RE: [Digital BW] Refilling Epson OEM carts

2007-11-10 by Tom Maugham

I guess that it depends what printer you have. I used to refill the carts
for my 1280. It's not all that difficult but can be messy if you're not
careful and you can also cross contaminate too. Then there is the issue of
resetting the chips. If you're refilling the carts with the sponge you have
issues of air in the sponge and the sponge deteriorating over time. I have
found a CIS with spongeless carts to be the best solution.

 

Best,

Tom

Subject: [Digital BW] Refilling Epson OEM carts

 

Has anyone had success refilling Epson's OEM carts? I've read about a
one way valve in them, probably to prevent refilling. Is this the
case? If we can get past the valve, we can use Epson's carts to bet
them at their own game!
