Epson 3800 questions

2013-08-14 by Rick Hawkins Java

Folks,

I'm a new owner of an Epson 3800 that i was lucky (i think) to obtain  
off of craigslist for $90.

I'm currently using an R260 and R280 and R200 and some 2200 's

I think i'm going to set it up with the K3 ink at first, so i need to  
determine what refillable cartridges to buy and i need to decide whose  
ink to go with.

There seems to be some differences in cartridges with regard to chips,  
etc. I see some of the cartridge sets require you to have full factory  
carts before you make the swap.

I think i want good cartridges that come with auto reset chips .... i  
see some of them require that you use 2 chips from the epson set,  
etc .... can someone please explain this.

Also, if anyone has a junk 3800, i'm missing the big front output door  
(which doesn't matter). I have the delivery trays and i need the rear  
sheet guide for the manual feed slot.

Also, do i need the epson RIP? i'll be running it from various older  
OS X macs.

Feel free to contact me directly or via list.
thanks,

xx rick
