Re: [Digital BW] Installing CIS on an 1270
2001-08-19 by Jerry Olson
Bernd, I don't think that's the reason. I installed my CIS on my 1280 after I used the Original Epson inks in the 1280 all up. The light came on, indicating the cartridge was empty. I don't remember if it was the color or Black cartridge that was empty. I'm not even sure how you'd tell, as there is only 1 ink indicator on the 1280. Soon as the light came on, I put the CIS in I've gone through an entire CIS inkset with no problems yet. jerry ruhrfoto@... wrote:
