Homebrew PCBs

Sounds good.

I'm also getting black and yellow ink, and a stylus color 600.

I plan on refilling the cartridges conventionally first, but a CFS sounds  
good for later, esp. since i can't get spongeless cartridges for this  
printer and i don't really want to mess about pulling them out all the  
time...

Looking forward to all those results which will be coming in soon...
