Digital BW, The Print

I'm using the rjetek plugs for refilling OEM 1800 carts.  Works very  
well.  I'm using the Epson gloss enhancer carts (you can buy them  
cheap at Atlex in two packs) simply because it eliminates the  
residual color ink problem.  I just switch chips to use the carts in  
other ink channels.  If you don't want to go that route I think MIS  
is still selling empty 1800 spongeless carts.
