Hi Chris,
The Lexmark ink cartidges do not use the piezo pump
technlogy like the Epsons. but rather the thermal jet
design. Withnin the printhead in the cartridges are
resisitors that vaporize a small portion of the ink to
push a drop out of the cartridge.
Having said all that, it would be worth testing the
MIS ink on a used cartidge first, before modifying the
printer.
There are pigment type ink refill kits for the
Lexmark, so perhaps the ink will not clog the jets?
I would think chances are slim that it will work, but
we all said that about inkjet printing directly to the
pcbs a few weeks ago.
TANSTAAFL!
