Re: [Digital BW] Re: Troubleshooting Epson Artisan 1430 -- nozzle checks failing

I am going to chime in on this one. I use a 2200 and before I had a R220. I always used a CIS with these. I did try refillable cartridges once with my 2200 but it was messy mostly because I am clumsy. The only problem i was concerned about was the seal. I have a feeling that pulling the cartridge out of the printer many times for refilling will deteriorate the seal and the ink may leak.
Because i use a CIS, i never take the cartridges out. I have been using the same company for years. www.superjetusa.com

Sorry folks for the tardy reply. That link to the Inkjetmall carts is right. I understand that they sell some colour refills but I only use Piezography inks. I use both those and MIR ones. With the first 1430, I tried, and had issues with all sorts of normal carts so thought that I would give them a try on the second. I have no idea whether one is better than the other. They work well for me so I immediately lose interest in further research.


On the subject of filling carts, I have a strong dislike for syringes. I hate cleaning and drying them, and all the attendant issues. A bit of research led me to this: http://www.octoink.co.uk/pages/SquEasyFill.html To my simple mind, these are brilliant. I am clumsy on a good day, having knocked over bottles while refilling and then having to clean up the mess. With these, you fill the bottles infrequently.
