Hello, I am currently in the market for a new printer. My needs are basic, I will not really be printing alot of photos, most of my printing is coupons, homework, documents, webpages, emails. Basic stuff. Maybe the occasional photo. I need something that will have decent longevity and be very...

Qwertydude, Thanks for the info :) I have finally gotten them printing from the last refill yesterday. I think a majority of my issue is that I am impatient in getting them to stop dripping, which they seem to want to do for quite some time. I placed them back in the printer while they were...

Thanks everyone for all the help! I will look into buying the brother printer and getting refillable carts on ebay. My office max has a brother mfc-j410 on sale for $59.99 regularly $99.99. It uses the LC61 style cartridges. Would this be a decent choice for refilling? Also, if I buy refillable...

Pharmacist thank you for the reply and the information. You mentioned the brother printers having refillable carts available on ebay. Does this mean that the original cartridges cannot be easily refilled? Thanks again, Gary

Hello, I am currently looking for recommendations on the best printer to buy specifically for refilling. I currently have a simple HP Deskjet 1000 which uses #61 black and #61 color cartridges. I have attempted refilling this, and have been successful refilling these a couple times, but it is a...

OK, thanks again for taking your time to help. I will take the printer out, set it up and start researching about how to clear the heads. at this point it has been in my closet for a good 6 months, so the heads are probably pretty badly clogged. If I have good luck getting things unclogged and...

Mikling, I do appreciate your expert opinion and thank you for taking the time to reply. May I ask what it is about the r380 that is so much better than something like a c309a? My main requirement is a CISS and ability to print to CD/DVD disks directly. The 309a can do both, and kgvickers seemed...

Hello, I am currently in the market to buy a new printer and CISS system for it. Just for background, I have owned a Canon IP4000 which I refilled, had moderate luck with that. When that dies several years ago, I got an Epson stylus photo r380 with a CISS which I think I ordered from newegg. It...

Hello, I have not posted much on these forums, generally i have been an observer. I have a set of refillable ink cartridges for the epson stylus photo r380 printer and whatever other epson models these cartridges are compatible with. The cartridges feature an auto reset chip as with most...

Hi, I purchased a continuous ink supply system just under a year ago for my epson stylus photo r380. My printer just recently stopped pulling in paper so it had to be replaced under the warranty. I took the CISS cartridges out of the printer and left them sitting on my desk while I shipped the...

Just wanted to update everyone on my experiences so far with the epson r380 and my new Continuous Inking System from alotofthings.com. The original ink finally ran out 2 days ago so I made time to get the CIS installed. The CIS from alotofthings is one that is generally sold prefilled, but...

trigger and tyamada, thanks for responding, sorry it has been some time since i have been on here, busy at work and stuff. I understand what both of you are saying about trying a new print head, and I also have no doubt that would have fixed my issue with the ip4000. but honestly I was just so...

canonfodder, thanks so much for the great suggestion, I will check into ebay and see if I can find a decent empty CIS and then get the INK from one of the sites you gave. jonalava, I definitely appreciate your comments and suggestions. If I ever decide to get back to using cartridges I will...

Billkunert, thanks for taking time to answer. I definitely know what you mean about the value provided, but I really can't afford to spend $240 on a CIS system, especially since I still will have to buy the printer which will be about another $100. I would like to find something that is good...

Hello, Many thanks to both of you for your reply.. Billkunert, thanks for the link, inksupply does seem like a quality supplier. One thing I wonder though is why the drastic difference in price between the CIS on ebay and the one on inksupply. The ebay one is $65.00 while the inksupply one is...
