Jon,

Would your empty 220ml carts be useful as cleaning/flusing carts to 
use with your cleaning fluids?

The procedure to refill those is a bit different than the smaller 
carts, but still the same basicn principle.  I have some adapters to 
use with a syringe to first fill them with water to clean them out, 
then to refill them.

There would probably be a little bit of remaining ink, but mostly 
flush fluid.  Any limitations to using the carts to flush with any 
specific pre-existing ink sets - Ultrachrome, dyes, etc?  

I think you are 100% on the right track with your focus on the 
ecological impact of the use of pre-filled carts from Epson, etc.  

I have 2 sets of 220ml refillable carts for my 2 Epson 7600's.  I am 
planning to migrate one of the 7600's to the Cone Color inks. I will 
probably substitute the neutral K7 blacks as mentioned in another 
thread (instead of the greenish Epson match ones), as I have to 
create new profiles anyway.  I do have an i1 spectrophotometer.

Guess I'll have to wait a bit for a Vivid Magenta match for my 
7880? ;>)

Thanks!

Best,
Michael
