My experiences are only with refilling original Epson 2100 carts and that has worked well for many months now. I'm still using the same carts I used five months ago. From what I understand the Epson carts are quite well built, and have the self-sealing exit hole which the Septone carts are missing. I wonder if you could just buy the 4oz bottles and the plugin from Inkjetgoodies and fill the inks into Epson carts? I think $18 per cart is too much, and I don't want to lock my printer into one inkset with CFS, so if I ever tried the Septone system it would have to be refills. -- Daniel Staver http://daniel.staver.no > > 3) If the software works as advertised it should be a flexible > > and easy to use system with reasonable cost....
