Would this work ?

1) Buy either 110 or 220 K3 inks - 7 inks (Photo K, Matte K, Light K, 
Light Light K, LM, LC and Y)

2) Syringe ink into MIS refillable carts.
3) Use QTR or IJC/OPM to control the inks.

Result K3 inks in a 2100 able to print using Photo K or Matte K with 
no waste, and tonable using LM, LC and Y inks.

Anyone tried getting ink out of these bigger carts? It seems to me 
that it would be worth the hassle on cost alone. 2100 carts 13 ml £10 
approx, 220 ml carts £55 approx. Usable ink in the 13 ml carts 
probably more like 10 ml !! 

I have used the MIS refillable carts with great success and once 
primed there is then no further waste.

Crazy idea or not?

Peter.

Should work just fine.  I had a custom set of inks in my 2200 that  
pretty much covered all of the bases from RC to cotton rag, warm,  
cool, sepia and anything in between.  Three blacks - MIS PKN, MIS PK,  
and Eboni.  MIS GLOP.  MIS UT7 LC, MIS UT7 LM, and MIS UT7 Y  
(Sepia).  The profiles were all essentially for one black, depending  
on paper and tone and various combinations of the two UT7 grays and  
sepia toner, so essentially a "Kk" set-up.  The Epson Kkk should be  
even better.

I have been browsing the MIS website and could not find any info on
the refillable cartridges for 2100/2200.  Could you help please.

Paul,
Thanks.  I was actually looking for the spongeless refillable
cartridges.  Any idea when they will have that?
