Chinese or Remanufactured Epson Carts

2008-12-29 by outdoornm

Hi folks,

Has anyone tried the Chinese ink carts that MIS sells on it's site? I like to use only pigment 
inks but at $5- a pop they look interesting for non-photographic purposes.  Will these cheap 
carts foul up your printer?

Also, I have seen remanufactured Epson carts from www.inkgrabber.com that are almost as 
cheap as the chinese carts.  Has anyone used these remanufactured carts?  I'm not quite sure 
what 'remanufactured' means, but perhaps they are refilled original carts.  If that is true, I 
would think they would do less damage to your printer than the dye-base Chinese carts 
might.

Your thoughts would be appreciated,

Lincoln
