Yes staples. But I was already skeptical in the first place. He said OEM. If none of you have heard of it and its not easily found online then I'm sure it doesn't exist :P

I mentioned refiling to a guy at staples the other day. And he said that supposedly EPSON sells their own bulk ink system and was wondering if this is true. Has anyone heard of this and have any links with reviews?

Snail you have really tried that design? Unlike other CIS carts I have seen, those appear to be the only ones that have a tin/rubber nozzle. The others I have seen are just a plastic nozzle with a peice of cellophane over the hole. Once punctured they leak if they are not in upside down or...

So if I had to guess, there doesn't seem to be many people that use inkjet printers in the same volume as I do that refill on these boards. I guess I am going to have to try harder to see if I can get some of those refillable cartridges but just figure out a way to replace the arcs with OEM...

I read your article on the B-500DN (i forget what I was searching for specifically but that's how I found it on google). I thought the ink waste tank was a great idea until you just mentioned it is chip based and they have turned it into a consumable. I thought the pad thing got gross but in all...

I think it might be time for me to switch from HP to epson. Lately I can't fix the printers faster than they break and right now I'm down 5 out of 6 printers. Here's what I need 4 color separate cartridges (and print heads) duplexer network card 20000 pages per month rating or higher We print...

Do you think that HP Genuine chips are Black dependant? In one circumstance I was using KCM 3rd party arcs and genuine Yellow. On the other printer that gave me the same problem I was only using a Magenta ARC while the KCY were genuine hp. It seems like K850 is an obsolete model now. Not that...

I am getting pretty frustrated with CISS and chips in general. Seems like I just get screwed by them. Last year I ordered a CISS it seemed to work great so I ordered some more. A couple of my printers rejected them and I had to do warranty replacements on the printers because they stopped...

I have another idea. This is related to threading it into the fill hole. If you've ever done minor plumbing (such as fixing a shower head) you might remember using teflon tape that goes between the copper thread and your fixture. It helps create a seal between metal and plastic to prevent leaks...

Yeah, I really should have only tried it on one cartridge before I did it on all four and assuming it was going to work. I just figured the the hot glue would have made a good seal but once the bags got half full they started leaking.

So you screw that into the fill hole? 1/4 inch seems big but I haven't actually measured anything yet. I was thinking of just using the same glue I'd use on pvc/abs pipes for irrigation/plumbing since the hot glue/super glue didn't work today, maybe rubber cement too. Initially I was thinking...

I tried using the fill hole by simply putting the tube in the hole and sealing with hot glue but it leaked. I tried super glue to fill the leaks but it didn't seem to want to dry. Also, the hot glue was getting too tall and it is preventing me from putting the caps on. Sounded like you have...

Do you have any pictures? I was thinking of bypassing the bag all together and just connecting a tub right before the one way valve that goes into the pressure bulb. Also, on your site what does it mean not black chip dependant?

I'm actually thinking of making my own CISS because the cartridges that came with my CISS were not very well constructed (you're right, they suck). As I mentioned they leak on the seams and also, the hole in the nozzle on the cartridge is only protected by a flimsy film and once it is broken...

Has anyone used a CISS for printers that use HP 96 (black) and 97 (tri color) cartridges? I'd like to test one out but one of my immediate concerns is because the printhead is built into the cartridge, how do you deal with the supply lines being pulled back and forth on the carriage? It seems...
