Re: Epson 1800 & MIS ink??

2008-12-14 by scott_now_coming

Hello Mike ,

This is what I recommend:

Buy these carts:

http://www.inkjetcarts.us/Categories.bok

And this MK ink:

http://www.inkjetcarts.us/Categories.bok

These are the same ink as MIS Eboni: made by Image Specialists.

Fill the 3 carts with MK and the rest with distilled water. You can 
add 1% glycerin to the distilled water(99.97% pure available at 
drugstores or Wal_mart) if desired. The glycerin helps to keep thing 
moist. Don't add the glycerin to the ink. Just use the ink as 
packaged.

Happy printing!

Scott
