Very interesting. It might eventually lead to cost savings and reduction of garbage, but the upfront cost of large OEM purchases is daunting. And in the end, it's still Epson pigment...good, but not "better" than the standard carts. The main goal of refilling is cheapness. I wish there were new generations of MIS/Piezo B&W that made the effort worthwhile visually. I don't prioritize cheapness: I want clog-free inks that look like MIS/Piezo, but with Epson's clog-free performance. (somebody's going to say Epson pigs clog, but in years of previous 2200 posts here and elsewhere, the complaints were nearly 100% about 3rd party, not OEM). MANY would pay a PREMIUM for B&W inksets with Epson's far-superior reliability and Eboni/MIS looks. They ALREADY PAY A HUGE PREMIUM for superior paper. I hope MIS/Piezo use whatever money they've wisely put aside for research/redesign, NOT FOR LAWYERS or workaround-marketing to save the current products.
