Finally did it, and although it's only my first refill, it's working well. I have an Epson R1800 and plan to follow Paul Roarke's 3MK approach. I want to fill the color positions with the MIS cleaning fluid as they empty and the MK, PK, and GLOP positions with Eboni. My yellow cart ran out first and that's the one I filled. Haven't put the Eboni carts in yet, am taking this one step at a time. There was a very helpful thread here a while back and I printed out one message from it - the thread was titled "First Experience using OEM cart refill kit" but after several searches couldn't find it. Anyway, when all was complete, the ink remaining utility showed the yellow cart at full. Had to reset the chip, of course. Nozzle check was good, but of course the yellow section was pale because it's mostly cleaning fluid. That part of the test pattern is pale to begin with of course. One question, as I proceed: When I filled the yellow cart, it took me about 15 minutes. Do I need to worry about the head drying out while I fill?
