Why not order from inksupply.com? international shipping is very
reasonable.
I checked out the old epson stylus i had but the head is badly clogged, i
think i will have to get another printer.
I'm curious what might be the best model to get.
A straight paper path is only a secondary requirement, i'm sure any
printer can be modified in that way.
What i would like is one where i can take the case off without the thing
coming apart. They used to be constructed on a sheetmetal frame that held
all the stuff together, but recently i have seen laser printers which used
the plastic case for structure, any ideas if this is the same with inkjet
printers?
I guess i should look that it originally uses durabright inks so the
"known good" refill will surely work?
Also, are there any models suitable that do _not_ have a chip on the
cartridge, or alternatively something like a PC software to easily reset
the thing?
Because, if there is a chip and it starts acting up i could easily get
angry enough to throw the printer out the window, which would maybe not be
so good for the lifespan of it...
Well, any suggestions as to which printers might be a good choice are
welcome. Also, if ther are any pages listing which printers have chips on
the cartridge it would be nice to know.
Steve, if you could briefly describe if/how it is possible to make such a
hose feed system that would be grand. I would only make one for black.
Does one use the cartridges in some way or is the hose attached to the
head directly?
thanks
