QTR-Quadtone RIP

I think my Epson R1800 is in need of replacement. I love the quality  
of the prints; that is, when the heads aren't clogging up. Does anyone  
have suggestions for a high quality B&W replacement? Also, is there  
any consensus on replacement continuous feed systems. I've been using  
MK3 carbon ink cartridges and recently they have consistently failed  
to print. This happened when their cartridge design changed to smaller  
ones with no peel-off seal. Any one else had similar problems? Thanks  
for any help.

Ola,

I¹m quite satisfied with the superjetusa.com CIS system in conjunction with
Cone K7 inks on an Epson R2400 printer.

Hi Ola,
I am using the R1800 for 3 years now and having always problems with clogging. As far as I know, this is not clogging of the printerhead, 
there are little bubbles in the cartridge. This problem ocures rather with refil ink than with the org. ink. I am printing now with 3 MK Carbon black, and wen the printer works I am realy satisfied. I am struggeling now since 3 weeks with clogging and can´t print in good quality. Thinking of buying R2880 in hope of fewer problems. As far as I know there are no real alternatives of using Epson printers and Quadtone (thanks to Roy for this exelent tool)

There have been lots of problems with the 1800 carts.  While I have not used a CIS with the 1800, the 3 inexpensive SuperjetUSA CISs I've set up have worked very well.  One of those might be worth trying -- much cheaper than a new printer.

Funny... I've had my 1800 for 1 year now running CIS with no problems whatsoever..  I do tend to leave it turned on though..  does this make a difference ? Don't know...  guess I will keep my fingers crossed.
