Digital BW, The Print

Friends, 
maybe I made a mistake, when I dicided to order an Epson 
7500. But now it will be delivered on the 2nd of January.
There are  several reasons why I preferred the 7500, one of them 
beeing the fact, that the 7500 is cheaper than the 7000 overhere 
in Germany.

I believed I could go with MIS VM inks and Paul´s 7000-curves 
but now I realized, that 7000- and 7500-cartridges are different - 
and MIS hasn´t got the 7500 carts in stock.

So I have to find a source for empty 7500 carts and then refill 
them with MIS inks.
Any suggestions where to get them??
TIA
Bernd

Bernd,

Ask Bob Zeiss of MIS about the CIS for the 7000. I believe that he 
might be able to secure the proper carts and with a bit of tweaking 
you might be able to get it to work.

You will find Virgin 7500 Carts at MediaStreet

Bernd,
If I understand your problem there are two ways to fix it, if the
7xxx 
is like the 9xxx.  I had a 9000 and then unwittingly got it converted 
to a 9500 (LONG STORY).  Anywhow, the only difference between 9000
and 
9500 carts is that the 9500 carts have a black square on the front of 
the carts, and a sensor is built into the machine to detect which
cart 
is in there, to prevent somebody from putting the wrong kind of cart 
in the machine.
1.  you can try to locate the area of the 7000 cart that is supposed 
to have the black coloring, and get a black marker and color it.  
However, if the black marker is too shiny, the printer won't be 
fooled.
2.  The easeir way (which I know first hand that a few 9500 users do 
to run indelible inks in 9000 carts) is to call epson, and they can 
tell you how to turn off that sensor in the 7500.  They will put up a 
huge fight, because you are not using their ink.  But that sensor 
can 
be turned off, and then the printer doesn't care which kind of cart 
goes in there.
Hope that helps,
Tony Caltabiano

Bernd,

You could always build your own CIS:
