Hi thamks for getting in touch. In the end i had to grit my teeth and out my fingers in my ears and install from Epsom and.... So far all is running fine

Thought so, have borrowed a cd drive off my pal and going to load it from there

Thanks good idea just thought they'd only have the latest drivers on there - does Epson have a reputation like HP of trying to stop the use of third party cartridges ?

Hi The Hat thanks for replying - I'm connecting it to a different machine that doesn't have the drivers on - how do i install them safely?

Hi guys ive just got a newer (2013 hence the 'er') iMac and its saying that i should download the latest drivers when i connect it. But i seem to remember that can be a no-no for refillers.

Thanks for your advice everyone, most appreciated. Like Arnie says: I WILL be back...

Thanks very much for the positive reply The Hat, very welcoming. Can you tell me the best way to purge said cartridges, do I use just ordinary tap water or distilled? I have also read on here that some people 'condition' their sponges with and additive, what would that be and is it necessary...

Hi everyone This is probably a post that appears in a lot of places but as I'm just about to take my first trepidacious steps into the arcane world of refilling I need to get a few things straight in my head. I will certainly be asking more refilling questions, so brace yourselves. I have...
