Re: MIS 1400 auto reset carts

Tyler,

I just refilled some carts for the CX4800, which I use for document 
printing.

IF the fill process is the same, it involves two 10cc syringes. One 
is filled with ink to inject into the cart at the fill port, one is 
used to withdraw air and foam from the regular cart output.

With the original Epson carts, a small ball - like a ball bearing - 
is used to seal the fill port.  I imagine they have a somewhat better 
solution - one of the plugs? - for the refillable carts.

Looking at the directions for refilling the original Epson carts 
should give you enough info to figure out how to refill yours:

I like MIS quite a bit. Unfortunately they seem to have quality 
problems with their suppliers at times. As you mentioned, there often 
is not enough info available either.

Best,
Michael
