Question: Did you trick the R220 into using Durabrite ink by swapping 
the chips on the cartridges, or did you use the ink that you're 
supposed to use with the R220? Because the ink for the R-series is not 
Durabrite ink. Also, if you used a chip-swapping trick, which kind of 
Durabrite did you use, Regular or Ultra?
