Digital BW, The Print

My understanding was that all these refillable carts come from China
(hence Epson using trade sanctions as a lever).  Thus it is something
of a lottery.  Even for MIS (as some of the complaints on this forum
indicate).  

And who knows if I buy from the same supplier as you, whether or not
the supplier sources from a different manufacturer?  Again a lottery
for all.  The advantage of buying yourself via ebay is that at least
they're cheap, and I can justify buying more to maximise my odds.

If that fails, I guess there is refilling OEM carts using these new
nipples from R-Jet Tek.

Re your dead R2400, my understanding is that it's fairly inexpensive
to buy a service manual online.  Might be a worthwhile investment to
diagnose the problem.
