I think this is the refill kit the MIS rep meant, I'm not sure, but I
suspect so: http://www.inksupply.com/epson_oem_refill_kit.cfm

Unfortunately it appears to be bottom-fill system you warn of. Do you
know of any other system, or is the only remaining option to go CFS?

Checked my old packing slip... apparently what I use in my R220 is
MIS-FLUID-4. Is that what you mean? or something else...

I'll download your formula, thanks for that tip@
