Reluctantly have begun to explore the options for chipped cartridges, after having years of great service from unchipped MP730 and IP3000. Have begun my experimentation with the Epson all in one TX610FW also known as the Worforce 610 in other places. Am trying a Rihac CISS and CISS and...

The tanks are see thru and have a main plug for refilling and a smaller hole for air filter ( not...

Comes with its own clip in case to seal the exit port.
It seems to...

Got hold off some interesting spongeless refillable Canon BCI3 cartridges. They are completely spongeless and can be easily changed into CIS
They look as though they come from http://www.jetyoung.com/pro-e-refill-cartridge.htm
Unlike the MIS spongeless there is no sponge at the exit port...
One of the limitations of refilling Canon cartridges seems to be that the sponge fails.

The MP730 has the same printhead as...
