Refiling MIS cartridges

Refiling MIS cartridges

2005-11-02 by frogeyesfred

Hello:
I've a question about the MIS spongeless cartridges. Once they are
initially filled and installed can they be refilled without removal? 

Thanks for any advice,

Walt J.

The normal chips need to be re-set.  To use the MIS chip re-setter, the
carts need to be removed.  For the CFSs, MIS uses auto-reset chips.  These
would work, but you would not know when to re-fill the carts.  

The Russian reset program might be a way to use regular chips, re-fill in
place, and then re-set.  The stopper is tough to remove, but one might be
able to use another type of stopper.

Frankly, I've had such good luck with just pulling the carts out and
re-filling them that I don't think an alternative that might make a mess
with ink is very attractive.

Walt..

You didn't say which printer you have, but assuming it's a 1270 or later,
you have to remove the carts to re-set the chip anyway..I have the
spongeless carts in two1280's, and after a 4 -5 year living hell with 4
different CIS/CFS settups in 3 printers, I feel that I've reached injet
heaven!..No (REAL) clogs on a color 1280 with Lyson Fotonics, and a B&W with
MIS UT2 inks....Just a refill job that in my case takes about 15 minutes
each printer including the chip re-set..

YMMV..

I'm sure you're right aboiut just pulling the carts to refil. Just
curious if it wouldn't be easier to put ink in when they are only
partially used.

Edward, I have an old 1270 that still works like a charm. What kept me
from a CIS unit was concern about whether it would continue to work
after putting out the money for a printer specific unit. The
spongeless carts seem like the answer.

See you in "inkjet heaven"
