Re: K3 Inks

I'm planning on transferring the ink from the 110ml cart to the 4oz ink
bottles that MIS sell.  I figure that they will last longer in a bottle.


Cost breakdown.

cart     capacity      price            price/2400 cart
2400     13ml          11.20 (Atlex)     11.20
4800     110ml         54.95 (B&H)       6.49  (8.46 refills) save 42%
4800     220ml         84.95 (B&H)       5.02 (16.92 refills) save 55%

Then you find a buddy to split the cost and the 220ml carts.

Epson claims 6 months after opening, so I would guess it might
actually be twice that.
