Digital BW, The Print

I have tried it for refilling R1800 Epson OEM carts and it works  
fine, as shown in the video.  Really not any more of a mess than  
refilling 3rd party carts with syringes, but if you want to refill  
Epson color carts with inks for B&W printing then you must of course  
clean out the Epson carts first.  This can be done by flushing with  
the refill kit using water or cleaning fluid, but it is more messy  
and time consuming.  I'm collecting used glop carts for refilling to  
minimize the pre-cleaning problem.  I think the plug valve could also  
be improved somewhat.  It is basically just a hollow plastic plug  
with and external circular groove that has been drilled through (very  
tiny hole) and then a silicone rubber O ring is slipped over the plug  
and around the groove.  This seals the two holes in the groove, but  
it also makes it somewhat difficult to push ink into the carts  
through the tiny holes covered by the O ring (significant back  
pressure and slow delivery rate).
