MIS sent me a replacement set of Eboni6 carts (very quick service this time, thank you MIS!) but my 1400 won't recognize these either. Had a good exchange of e-mails with Mathew over there at MIS, we've come to the conclusion it must be the printer. All six carts were unrecognized, with both sets, and he said they've never seen that. They've sold hundreds with no problems.
I'm in a Catch-22... the printer, a refurb, works fine with Epson carts and of course they don't honor the warranty if I'm using 3rd party carts. Anyone else using a refurb 1400 with MIS carts? I did order a set of empty carts from Inkjet Mall, and my only option is to fill those with Paul's Carbon 6 recipe inks and see if they are recognized. Or sell it on eBay, with full disclosure of course. It's practically new.
Any consoling thoughts out there? It is Friday the 13th after all.
