[Digital BW] Re: Refilling OEM Epson Cartridges

2008-12-24 by Paul Whiting

Rob,

Yes, I refill the R1800. I do black only printing with MIS' Eboni ink
in the two black and the glop positions, using Paul Roark's workflow.

In the color positions, I use the OEM color carts in their original
positions. After the color ran out I refilled them with MIS Cleaning
Fluid and do so whenever the Tool Kit shows them to be low. As for the
three black positions, I started with the MIS carts pre-filled with
Eboni, from MIS, and now that they've run out I refill those as well.

The refill techniques are different. For the OEM carts I use the MIS
OEM refill kit and for the black positions I use the MIS technique for
the spongeless carts. I hope this is the information you're looking
for! Let me know if I can tell you more,

Paul
