Digital BW, The Print

I called R-JetTek (rjettek.com) today and inquired about their Epson  
cartridge refill kit.  Saleswoman "Linda" told me it was legal re:  
the Epson lawsuit.  The "Super Valve Plug Kit" is priced at $74.95  
and includes some needed tools to penetrate the cartridge and 20  
small valves, one of which is inserted into the cartridge to be  
refilled.

A basic kit at $24.95 per color cartridge is also available and  
recommended to avoid cross contamination.  It amounts to 20 more  
valves, a waste ink bottle, a separate injector syringe/nozzle...in  
short, all the items that come in contact with the ink.  Linda told  
me it was possible to use only the Super Kit but it needed to be  
cleaned very thoroughly between uses.  The basic kit makes  
cleanliness easier since each one of these "kits" is devoted to each  
color used.  (Gets expensive if the printer uses 8 or 9 catridges)

There is a brief video on the site.  Looks very easy.  Also looks as  
though one could assemble their own collection of bottles and  
syringes to act as the "basic kit" for each color cartridge used.

She did not state that all the old Epson ink could be purged from a  
used cartridge such that a B/W inkset could be used.  It would seem  
to be a possible system for an Epson 2400 using ABW.

I've been alerted to some items that might help with respect to  
refilling,
and perhaps even replacing patented parts. Check out the following URLs:
