BO setup for epson r200, and a question about linux

2005-10-10 by primer_dimer

Hi, 

I'm keen to set up my epson r200 for black only printing with
refillable cartridges.  I've done some testing with the standard epson
black ink and matte papers, and I want to move on to eboni ink, which
seems to be the standard.  I'm in the UK, so I'll have to order the
kit from the US and have it shipped - hence I want to get my order
right the first time!  

Can anyone give me a list of the stuff I need to order?  Is it as
simple as getting an empty cartridge, a bottle of ink and a refill kit?

Bonus question:  is anyone else doing BO printing with Linux?  At the
moment I'm just using the GIMP to print in greyscale mode - I think
the drivers for the r200 are quite good.  Any tips?

Thanks
PD

You will need

1. Bottle of ink.
2. Empty refillable cartridge for K position.
3. Min. 10 ml sirynge.
4. Needle for the syringe.
5. Chip resetter from MIS.
6. Bottom adapter (to prime your cartridge after refill).

All this is available from MIS at very reasonable prices.

Good luck!
