Re: Slight OT: R800/R1800 Question

2008-08-11 by Paul Whiting

Also, recently I ordered some carts from MIS but first asked if they
were the spongeless refillables... and the MIS tech said yes, they
were. I asked him how they got around the suit and he said something
like the fact that these carts contained an ink not made by Epson that
the cart did not infringe on Epson's line of carts. Also, these did
not have the auto-reset chips. 

When these carts ran dry, I simply refilled them with my bulk supply
of Eboni ink and reset the chips. In fact, I've refilled them several
times. Voila, just as things have always been, when I ordered the
empty spongeless refillables from MIS.

In part, I've answered my own question, above, but was just curious
how this particular supplier got around the suit.
