RE: [Digital BW] Its time to jump? Septones for 2100?

2003-09-12 by Daniel Staver

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.
