    Hi, I'm Juan from Planet Earth

    Thanks @The Hat I already feel that way! It's only been a couple of days and I've learned a great deal. The question that motivated me to join has been pretty much resolved and I learned a lot that I wasn't expecting. The only thing I regret is not having chosen "Earthling" as my handle. :)

    EPSON T504 compatible ink for a EPSON L4160 printer

    @stratman I have now successfully removed the top of one of my T504 ink bottles, as both you and @inkstained fingers suggested. And I'm pretty darned confident now that I can buy T502 inks in the US for use with this printer. I just have to save the old T504 tops and take them with me when I go...

    EPSON T504 compatible ink for a EPSON L4160 printer

    Thanks Ink stained Fingers. I've thought about that possibility, but I'm still a bit concerned whether the ink is exactly the same. I wouldn't want to clog or otherwise damage the print heads.

    EPSON T504 compatible ink for a EPSON L4160 printer

    Thanks Stratman, My printer uses ink out of bottles, not cartridges and as you assume, there are no chips or codes involved. The closest thing to that is the unique, peculiar keyed shape of each color's bottle neck that only fits the corresponding filler neck on the printer. A clever way to...

    EPSON T504 compatible ink for a EPSON L4160 printer

    I have an EPSON L4160 ecotank printer, bought in Mexico which uses (came with) T504 inks. I would like to take it back to the US when I move back in the near future. I would sell it here in Mexico before going back if I can't buy compatible ink stateside. I've looked for T504 in on the web...

    Hi, I'm Juan from Planet Earth

    Just joining, I travel a lot to various countries so... I like to call myself an Earthling. I have an EPSON L4160 ecotank printer bought in Mexico which I'd like to take back to the US with me. I need to know if I'll be able to buy ink for it...
