Re: [Digital BW] Refilling Epson OEM carts

2007-11-10 by Tony Wells

Another passing thought, one harking back to when most printers were just 
B&W for document printing. Then, I could buy refill kits that included a 
little drill bit with a moulded plastic gripper part and a rubber stopper / 
bung. The idea was that you drilled a hole in the top of the cartridge, 
refilled it with ink from the large bottle, and then sealed the hole with 
the stopper. The stopper could then be easily removed when the cart was 
empty and ready for refilling again. Even a small self tapping screw and 
plastic washer would suffice to hold when used on pressurised carts, surely?

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!
