Im looking at going the refillable route for both my Canon I560 and my new Epson Artisan 800.
The Epson will be primarily used for printing CD/DVD's
Both printers dont see much use, so im not considering CISS at this point.
The Epson may sit for months without use if i only use it for CD/DVD's.
How many times can you refill a factory or non OEM cartridge?
Should the syringes used for refilling be flushed out after use? If so what would you suggest using?
Do the sponges ever get worn or dried out?
Is it better to try and reuse the factory cartridges over using a non OEM replacement one?
I read on Inksupply.com, that they dont recommend Deep Cleaning. I have been using the deep cleaning method for quite a while and even with new replacement factory cartridges, i find that if the printer sits for more than a day or two that i have to run a cleaning cycle in order for it to print properly.
Do you think the print head may have seen better days and would there be something i can do to fix this?
Im looking at Refill kits from HobbiColors, InkSupply.com and Inktec cartridges from inkjetcartridge.com. Any comments on these 3 suppliers are welcomed.
Im waiting to hear back from Hobbicolors as i dont see a refill kit on their Ebay store for the Canon BCI cartridges.
Any help would be appreciated.
