To All,

 

I have been experimenting with self-resetting carts an found there is a
learning curve to using them.

 

I have been using a supplier, www.inkjetcarts.us, who leans over backwards
to provide support.  Their Epson-compatible (Image Specialists) inks are $12
/ 4 oz, not $18 / 4 oz.  They claim their matte black for the R800/1800 is
the same as MIS's ebony black.  With every order they ship syringes and
needles at no charge.  They also give you a CD  with the best selection of
files including the SCC service utility, a collection of pdf files
explaining how to use self-resetting carts, and pdf's containing a ton of
information every chip refiller should know.  These last two items are the
best single collection of useful cart refilling information I've found
anywhere and have been the key to my solving my air-in-the-head- problems.

 

Unfortunately, you cannot download these files from their website.   I
called them and they gave me permission to upload them to our group's file
section.  If someone call tell me how to or who can upload these files, I'll
get them up there.  While some spots may be a bit rough, they are worth the
time spent, particularly if you are using self resetting chips.

 

One point to note about self resetting carts is that they eliminate the need
to remove carts from the printer for refilling.  Just pull the plug and
squirt in more ink and your set to go.  This eliminates the possibility of
air getting in the head and is the biggest reason I am trying them out.  If
you are changing position colors, then obviously this won't work, but then
you are only back to what you are doing now.

 

They sell a set of self-resetting carts for the R1800 is $26, with chips.
Evidently, because they are self-resetting, they can still sell them.
