Re: Spongeless carts for 2200...

2008-01-16 by ferdinand_paris

The carts sold by efillink are not empty.  I gather they had too many
problems with people not knowing how to fill them, so now they only
sell pre-filled carts.

If you look through this forum in recent days, you will see a thread
about the 2400 pre-filled refillables from this source.  They seem to
work for the 2400, but they do drop a bit of ink when first used.  For
some people it's not too bad, but others have had more drop than they
like.  You need to contact Ronnie for instructions about how to
prevent this, by getting some air into the vent chamber.  If you
refill in situ, it's a one time thing.

All these carts come from China, and there is a failure rate.  I would
plan on getting several sets to beat the odds, no matter where you buy
them from.  

If you want to refill in situ, you will need auto-reset chips on the
carts.  I do wonder if some of the problems you sometimes see reported
regarding MIS cart problems are caused by needing to remove them to
refill and reset them.
