Digital BW, The Print

My experience with the funnel fill carts on a 7600 is not very positive: some could not be detected by the sensor, others had a tendency to let air in the line etc. I ended up replacing them with the MIS large format refillable carts: cheaper and more reliable, they seem to work like a charm. You could probably just use the original epson carts. Rinse them and refill.
