Re: Troubleshooting Epson Artisan 1430 -- nozzle checks failing

2016-02-20 by ascherjim@...

On the basis of Jeff's advice and experience --

"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 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."
  
                  
 
     
 
         
 
                                      -- I have ordered myself a set of six for my Epson 1400 and 1430.  As they are surprisingly inexpensive, I don't think I'd be out much if they shouldn't prove workable.  However I don't see why they wouldn't fill my needs perfectly, as my present practice is with rotating one syringe among my separate dilutions of MIS Eboni inks (which I actually dilute myself starting with the basic black) using Paul Roark's formulas.
