Digital BW, The Print

The C86 drinks black ink.  I think that is how Epson makes money on it.  

The solution is the easy-refill cart (like the one pictured here
http://www.inksupply.com/index.cfm?source=html/c84refill.html), with MIS
bulk ink (Eboni or PK for the black, EZ grays for the others -- see
http://www.inksupply.com/index.cfm?source=html/utez.html) and a chip
resetter.  (See http://www.inksupply.com/index.cfm?source=html/qb7.html.  

Note that for the C86/84 carts fit the resetter better if the resetter guide
is modified as shown in the following photo on my webpage:
http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/C86_Resetter_Guide.jpg.  This is also
accessible from my printing information index at

After running many cleaning cycles, while trying to get rid of the
banding with the plain paper setting (futile! :) ), I noticed that
this printer wastes ALOT of black ink. So much so that I cringe when I
have to do a  cycle now.  Don't know if its the small carts or the
printer itself, but I wouldn't doubt if 10% or more of the black ink
disapears with each run.

Happy Hollidays
