best black ink refil solution for Epson r265?

2008-11-06 by dsfsdfsdaasdfdfdfd

Hi, 

I've been printing Black Only with an Epson r265 and am delighted with
the quality.  I've been using Epson black ink cartridges but I've
decided I want to make lots of prints, so I'm looking for a refillable
solution.  There are lots of websites around that sell refillable
cartridges e.g.

http://www.laserdesigns.co.uk/ldcm_refillable_ink_cartridges_info.html

and lots of places that sell ink e.g.

http://www.fotospeed.com/Fotospeed-Universal-Crystal-Dye-(Epson)/products/2461/

Can anyone advise me on which to buy?  I have seen a lot of
recommendations for Eboni ink, but looking at the inksupply.com
website I don't think they have cartridges for the r265.  Can I just
buy the Eboni ink and put it in a different cartridge?  I have heard
that there may be problems running pigment ink in the r265 since it
was designed for dye ink - is that true?  I am tempted by the products
on cityinkexpress - either the dye refill kit

or the pigment one

http://cityinkexpress.co.uk/R265-Pigment_Ink_cartridge_for_Epson_R265.html

Would either of these give results of similar quality to the original
Epsom cartridges?  I'm quite happy to play about with different
profile settings, as long as I can get a good result in the end!

Thanks for any advice.

MJ
