[Digital BW] Re: Removing CIS for a Few Days

2002-09-13 by jim hayes

I never had leaks from either the rivits or the EZ-Plugs...but of 
course I mean AFTER they were installed. I did get leaking as I 
installed or removed both. Maybe that's what you refer to. Or maybe 
you had a bad cart seal. Or maybe I'm just lucky<g>. Anyway, the 
EZ-Plugs are around $15, quite a price diff from the Rivets. If you 
want to see them, they may still be on the nomorecarts.com site under 
"accesories". If not there you may find a picture at mediastreet, or 
possibly inkjetart.com

It consists of pins mounted in clear plastic rectangles. One pin for 
the k cart and 3 or 5 pins mounted in a row for the 1160 or 1280 color 
cart, depending. Big advantage is they go in and out fast. 
Disadvantage is I  have had so many crack apart on me it's getting to 
be an old joke. They are replaced under warrenty.
