Epson 1500W cartridges

2014-11-22 by nigel.richards01@...

Hi, not really a QTR question but I am sure someone can answer it. For the past few years I have been wearing out a succession of Epson 1290 printers using black only printing. So I bought a 1500W (1430) as a replacement, as the epson driver doesn't support the use of just the black cartridge and the greyscale option is dreadful i turned to QTR using a BO curve and the original Claria ink installed just driving the black cartridge . I like the results I get but I want to play with different ink. I have some new refillable ink cartridges with auto resettable chips which I am told by the supplier have to all be all "installed" at the same time and not individually replacing the epson carts as they get used up. So my question is can I take all the part used horribly expensive original ink out and put them back again after playing with the refillable carts. Will they dry out, do they have valves in the exit ports etc etc. any advice will be appreciated.

Another question, is there a UK supplier of the carbon black eboni ink or a UK available alternative.

Thanks

Nigel in the UK
