Is R1800 yellow equal to 7600 yellow?

Is R1800 yellow equal to 7600 yellow?

2008-05-07 by Richard Cooke

Hi Folks,

Sorry if this is has already been answered (I couldn't find the
answer) but is the R1800 yellow the same as the 7600 yellow?  I'm
asking because I'd like to reduce my costs somewhat by getting a 110ml
large format cartridge and sucking out the ink to use with the
refillable carts.

Thanks,

I think if the question is if the replacement MIS R1800 and 7600
yellow inks are the same, Paul R. answered yes a few weeks ago.

I am trying the latest Ultrachrome yellow to replace MIS R1800 yellow
and will let you know if I need to reprofile.  Initial test print
measured similarly with Print Fix Pro.

I think I may have been confused with how to attach the bottom fill
adapter to the syringe and will try again- I can say that the tool MIS
sells to refill OEM Epson cartridges does a good job removing ink from
large format cartridges.  Just stick a needle on the end and you can
put the ink back in refillable carts.

I can't say if Epson R1800 yellow is the same as 7600 Y, but I suspect 
it is.  Recall we found that the C86 EZ-Y cart not only fit in the 
2400, but the chip even worked.  That suggested to me that Epson was 
using the same yellow carts & ink for the C86 and 2400.
